Firmware
22.1  Overview 
This chapter explains how to upload new firmware and manage configuration files.
Use the instructions in this chapter to change the device’s configuration file or 
upgrade its firmware. After you configure your device, you can backup the 
configuration file to a computer. That way if you later misconfigure the device, you 
can upload the backed up configuration file to return to your previous settings. 
You can alternately upload the factory default configuration file if you want to 
return the device to the original default settings. The firmware determines the 
device’s available features and functionality. You can download new firmware 
releases from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site (or www.zyxel.com) to use to upgrade 
your device’s performance.
Only use firmware for your device’s specific model. Refer to the 
label on the bottom of your P-660RU-Tx.
22.1.1  What You Need To Know About Firmware
Filename Conventions
The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory 
default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It 
arrives from ZyXEL with a “rom” filename extension. Once you have customized 
the P-660RU-Tx's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a 
filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) 
is the system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension. Find this firmware at 
www.zyxel.com. With many FTP and TFTP clients, the filenames are similar to 
those seen next.
