Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance

TFTP over WAN will not work if you have applied a filter in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet service.

11.3 Restore Configuration

Menu 24.6 -- System Maintenance - Restore Configuration allows you to restore the configuration via
FTP or TFTP to your Prestige. The preferred method is FTP. Note that this function erases the current
configuration before restoring the previous backup configuration; please do not attempt to restore unless
you have a backup configuration stored on disk. To restore configuration using FTP or TFTP is the same as
uploading the configuration file, please refer to the following sections on FTP and TFTP file transfer for
more details. The Prestige restarts automatically after the file transfer is complete.

Menu 24.6 – Restore Configuration

To transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure

below:

1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation.

2. Type "open" and the IP address of your router. Then type "root" and
SMT password as requested.
3. Type “put backupfilename rom-0” where backupfilename is the name of

your backup configuration file on your workstation and rom-spt is the

Remote file name on the router. This restores the configuration to your
router.
4. The system reboots automatically after a successful file transfer.

For details on FTP commands, please consult the documentation of your FTP
client program. For details on restoring using TFTP (note that you must
remain in the menu to back up using TFTP), please see your router manual.
