Backing Up the SME 100 Using Backup All

If a Backup All has never been done, or to do a routine backup of both the IP and Box
configuration files:

1.

Connect the SME 100 (see "

Rear Panel Features

" on page 12).

2.

Open a web-browser and enter the IP address of the SME 100 (see "

Accessing the

Web-based User Interface

" on page 47).

3.

Go to the File Management Tab (see

figure 68

on page 74).

4.

Select the

Backup/Restore

link on the left sidebar of the File Management page.

5.

Under Backup select

Backup All

(item

a

in

figure 68

on page 74).

NOTE: Two files,

IP.CFG

and

BOX.CFG

are placed in the

nortxe-backup

directory.

Prior to the first backup, the

nortxe-backup

directory does not exist. The

SME 100 creates it, then places the two files in it.

Backup of the current SME 100 configuration is complete. The two files
(

IP.CFG

and

BOX.CFG

) can be used at any time to return the SME 100 to this state.

At this time, copies of the two files (

IP.CFG

and

BOX.CFG

) should be saved to a remote

location for future use (see "

Saving Files

" on page 72).

Restoring Config Files from the Backup

Once a Backup All has been completed, the two backup files exist in the SME 100

nortxe-backup

directory on the File Management page. To restore the

IP.CFG

or

BOX.CFG

files after making undesired changes, or to return the SME 100 to a known state:

1.

Connect the SME 100 (see "

Rear Panel Features

" on page 12).

2.

Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the SME 100 (see "

Accessing the

Web-based User Interface

" on page 47).

3.

Select the File Management Tab (see

figure 68

on page 74).

4.

Select the

Backup/Restore

link on the left sidebar of the File Management page.

5.

Under Restore there are two options to restore either the

IP.CFG

(b in

figure 68

on

page 74) or

BOX.CFG

(c in figure 66). Select the config file to restore. The restore

program starts automatically.

6.

Once completed, the program redirects to the Live View page.

NOTE: When restoring both configuration files, always do the

BOX.CFG

first

followed by the

IP.CFG

. That prevents having to change the IP settings until

after both configuration files have been restored.

Restoring the Configuration from Another SME 100

A

BOX.CFG

file from another SME 100 can be used to restore your SME 100 to a known

configuration using the following instructions.

NOTES:

Only use a donor SME 100 with the same firmware version.

In the following procedures, the donor SME 100 is referred to as device D; the
SME 100 that will be restored with the donor configuration is referred to as
device A.
