8.3.3 Save and Restore Menu
The save and restore feature of a PTP 400 Series bridge allows the system administrator to
backup the operation configuration of the wireless unit. It is recommended that this facility is
used immediately after a successful PTP 400 Series bridge installation or prior to any
software upgrade. In the unlikely event that a unit has to be replaced in the field, the
replacement unit can be reconfigured by simply playing back the saved configuration file.
To save the configuration file click on the ‘Save Configuration File’ button (Figure 34 and
Figure 35) and save the configuration file (.cfg) to the hard drive of your computer 19 , 20 .

downloadable file as make an assessment whether to treat the file as an ASCII or binary file.
Unfortunately the configuration file is always treated as ASCII and the browser attempts to display it
instead of downloading it. Firefox (all versions) makes no such assumptions.
20 The configuration file name format is MAC-mm-mm-mm_IP-iii-iii-iii-iii.cfg where mm and iii are the
lower 3 bytes of the MAC address and the unit IP address respectively.
