10.6 Backup Configuration
Entering 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration
to your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly.
You must perform backup and restore through the console port. Any serial communications program should
work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload.
Please note that the terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the workstation. Download means to
transfer from another machine to the workstation; upload means from your workstation to another machine.
Step 1. Go to Menu 24.5 (shown next).
