Netopia 4553 - Manual (Page 203)

Utilities and Diagnostics 13-203
Uploading a file can also be useful for troubleshooting purposes. The uploaded configuration file can be tested
on a different Netopia 4553 by Netopia or your network administrator.
The procedure below applies whether you are using the console or the WAN inter face. To upload a configuration
file:
1. Decide on a name for the file and a path for saving it.
2. Select Receive Config from Netopia and press Return. The following dialog box appears:
3. Select CANCEL to exit without uploading the file, or select CONTINUE to upload the file.
If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an
XMODEM transfer of the configuration file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will
disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then tr y
again.
Restarting the system
You can restar t the system by selecting the Restart System item in the Utilities & Diagnostics screen.
You must restar t the system whenever you reconfigure the Netopia 4553 and want the new parameter values to
take effect. Under cer tain circumstances, restar ting the system may also clear up system or network
malfunctions. Some configuration processes automatically restar t the system to apply the changes you have
made.
