Backup / Restore Page

NOTE: FTP provides an alternative method to accessing and managing the backup files

of the SME 100. See "

Managing Files Using FTP

" on page 73 for information.

The current configuration settings of connected devices can be saved and recalled using the
Backup / Restore page. The backup is saved as two files; IP config and box-specific. Both
files are saved when executing a

Backup All

, but each file must be restored individually. All

backups use the same filenames, so a current

Backup All

overwrites previous files.

The Backup / Restore page contains the following options:

a

(Backup) Backup All — Click this button to save all IP configuration and box specific

parameters from the connected SME 100. A folder is automatically created on the File
Management page called

nortxe-backup

and contains the

ip.cfg

and

box.cfg

files.

These two files are used with the

Restore IP Config

(

b

) and

Restore Box-specific

(

c

) buttons when restoring configuration settings.

b

(Restore) IP Config — Click this button to restore the IP configuration that was last

saved using the

Backup All

button above.

NOTE: If the SME 100 was not backed up previously, or if there is not an

ip.cfg

file stored in the

nortxe-backup

folder, the

Restore IP Config

button will not

be able to restore the IP configuration for the SME 100.

c

(Restore) Box-specific — Click this button to restore the box specific parameters last

saved using the

Backup All

button above.

NOTE: If the SME 100 was not backed up previously, or if there is not a

box.cfg

file stored in the

nortxe-backup

folder, the

Restore Box-specific

button will

not be able to restore the box specific parameters for the SME 100.

When the device is new or recently reset, there will be no backup files. A backup will need
to be completed before a restore can be accomplished. The following sections provide
procedures for using these buttons appropriately.
