12.5 Filename conventions

The configuration file (sometimes called the romfile or romfile-0) contains the settings in the menus such as
password, DHCP Setup defaults, TCP/IP Setup defaults etc. The external (i.e., not on the Prestige)
configuration filename is usually the router model name with a *.rom extension, e.g., P1100.rom. The
ZyNOS firmware file (sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the file that contains the ZyXEL Network
Operating System firmware and the external firmware file is usually called the router model name with a
*.bin extension, e.g., P1100.bin. Rename the configuration filename to “rom-0” or “rom-spt” (see the next
section) and the firmware filename to “ras” when transferring files to the Prestige. These are the internal
(i.e., on the Prestige) filenames. Renaming the files is not necessary when you transfer files to the Prestige
using the X-Modem protocol.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the
Prestige and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, i.e., on your workstation, local
network or ftp site and so the name (but not the extension) will vary. The AT command is the command you
enter after you press “Y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode.
