21.1  Overview
This chapter explains how to upload new firmware, manage configuration files and 
restart your ZyXEL Device.
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 ZyXEL Device.

21.2  The Firmware Screen

process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. 
After a successful upload, the system will reboot.
