The Backup and Restore options in the Backup Settings screen let you save and retrieve a
file containing your Internet adapter’s configuration settings. Once you have your Internet
adapter working correctly, you should back up the information to have it available if
something goes wrong. When you back up the settings, they are saved as a file on your
computer. You can restore the device's settings from this file.
Backing Up Settings
1. Click Back Up. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the Internet adapter.
2. If you do not have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where
you want to save the file.
3. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as internet_adapter.cfg.
Restoring Settings

On the Backup screen, click Browse.
2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file.
3.
Click Restore.
A screen displays letting you know that the device has been successfully restored to the
previous settings. The Internet adapter will restart. This will take about 1 minute.
CAUTION:
Do not try to go online, turn off the Internet adapter, shut down the
computer, or do anything else to the Internet adapter until it finishes
restarting!
4. Close the message window.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to
send the file to the Internet adapter. The Internet adapter then reboots automatically.
Erasing the Settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you have lost track of the changes that you made
to the Internet adapter settings), you might want to erase the configuration. After an erase,
the Internet adapter returns to its factory settings (see
Factory Settings on page 20.
