Introduction 20
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 3 • Import/Export
Introduction
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your access server’s configura-
tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a
replacement access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.
Note All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on Import/Export under the Configuration Menu to display the
Import/Export main window (see figure 6 ).

Export Configuration
Note The exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, however to
edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.
Note The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they are
stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating parameters. To
ensure that you export the most current parameters, go to
HOME , then click
on the Record Current Configuration button under Immediate Actions .
