The following commands provide configuration file information, and restore backup configuration
files:

cfg

Provides information on the status of system configuration changes. With Manage Mode and/
or CFGEDIT, you can make changes to the system configuration. (This, in turn, changes the .nei
files.) If you do not commit these changes (Manage Mode) or restart your system (CFGEDIT),
these changes do not become current. This command identifies whether or not changes have
been made which are not yet current. The command will display the following information:

restore

Replaces the current configuration files with the configuration backup files (.bak files) located
in the \CONFIG directory, thus restoring the previous system configuration. Because this
command will destroy your current configuration, a warning is displayed when issued:

WARNING:This command overwrites your current configuration files. Are you sure

you want to restore your old configuration? (Y or N)

If you indeed want to restore the old configuration, type “Y”. If not, type “N” (default).

Note that you must have saved configuration changes at least one time before the

restore

command will work.

quit

Terminates the system program. You may need to “

quit

” in order to perform a system

function such as a system upgrade, configuration change or a configuration backup.

start_ne

Restarts the system program and is available only after you issue the

quit

command. After

issuing the

start_ne

command, you must again login to the system.

restart

Generally used from a remote site (when using Telnet or TFTP), although it is functional from
a local console as well. The

restart

command reboots the system and automatically starts

up the system software. Issue this command after making configuration changes with
CFGEDIT, in order for these changes to take effect.

If you prefer, you can make configuration changes and store them remotely. Later, you can
transfer the changes (the .nei files) to the system using TFTP. In order for these changes to take
