ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file
“config.cfg”.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different
than the source, you will need to rename them as the P-792H v2 only recognizes
“rom-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to
the filename on the P-792H v2 and the external filename refers to the filename
not
on the P-792H v2, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so
the name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, see the
ZyNOS F/W Version
field in
Menu 24.2.1 - System Maintenance -
Information
to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version. The
AT command is the command you enter after you press “y” when prompted in the
SMT menu to go into debug mode.
35.3
Backup Configuration
Note: The P-792H v2 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
P-792H v2 configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once
your P-792H v2 is functioning properly. FTP is the preferred method for backing up
your current configuration to your computer since it is 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 P-792H v2 to the computer, while upload
means from your computer to the P-792H v2.
