This chapter explains how to upload new firmware, manage configuration files and

configuration file to a computer. That way if you later misconfigure the device, you
can upload the backed up configuration file to return to your previous settings.

return the device to the original default settings. The firmware determines the

your device’s performance.
Only use firmware for your device’s specific model. Refer to the
label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
