Table 11-1 Filename Conventions
FILE TYPE INTERNAL NAME EXTERNAL NAME DESCRIPTION
Configuration
File Rom-0 This is the configuration filename on
the Prestige. Uploading the rom-0 file
replaces the entire ROM file system,
including your Prestige configurations,
system-related data (including the
default password), the error log and
the trace log. *.rom

11.2 Backup Configuration
The Prestige displays different messages explaining different ways to backup,
restore and upload files in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2; depending on
whether you use the console port or Telnet.
Option 5 from Menu 24 — System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration
to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. FTP is the
preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to your computer since they are faster. You
can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port. Any serial communications
program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and
you don’t have to rename the files.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer
from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.
