Netopia 430 s Reference Guide

A file containing a snapshot of the Netopia ISDN Router’s current 
configuration can be uploaded from the Router to disk. The file can 
then be downloaded by a different Netopia ISDN Router to configure 
its parameters (see 

). This is useful for configuring a number of Routers with 

identical parameters, or for creating configuration backup files.

Uploading a file can also be useful for troubleshooting purposes. 
The uploaded configuration file can be tested on a different Netopia 
ISDN Router by Farallon or your network administrator.

To upload a configuration file:

1.

Decide on a name for the file and a path for saving it.

2.

Select Receive Config from Netopia and press Return. The 
following dialog box appears:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

|                                                                    |

|  Are you sure you want to save your current Netopia configuration? |

|  If so, when you hit Return/Enter on the CONTINUE button, you will |

|  have 10 seconds to begin the transfer from your terminal program. |

|                                                                    |

|              CANCEL                          CONTINUE              |

|                                                                    |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

3.

Select CANCEL to exit without uploading the file, or select 
CONTINUE to upload the file.

If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your 
terminal emulation software to initiate an XMODEM transfer of 
the configuration file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that 
time, the dialog box will disappear and the terminal emulation 
software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then 
tr y again.
