contains your Prestige configurations such as IP
addresses, DHCP settings, Remote Node
settings etc. as well as your personal password.

including your Prestige configurations, system-
related data (including the baud rate and default
password), the error log and the trace log.

12.6 Back up Configuration

12.6.1 Backup using the Console Port

Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to back up the current Prestige configuration to
your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly.

You can perform the backup either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through
the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Backup via the console port under
normal conditions

is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program

should work fine; however, you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload.

Ras and ATUR exist for backward compatibility. Ras is equivalent to ras-m; atur is equivalent to ATUM.
