Netopia 4741 2a4na User Guide

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.

The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new configuration into effect.

A file containing a snapshot of the Netopia 4741’s current configuration can be uploaded from the router to 
disk. The file can then be downloaded by a different Netopia 4741 to configure its parameters (see 

 above). 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 4741 by Netopia or your network administrator.

The procedure below applies whether you are using the console or the WAN inter face. 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:

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.

You can restar t the system by selecting the Restart System item in the Utilities & Diagnostics screen. 

You must restar t the system whenever you reconfigure the Netopia 4741 and want the new parameter values to 
take effect. Under cer tain circumstances, restar ting the system may also clear up system or network 
malfunctions. Some configuration processes automatically restar t the system to apply the changes you have 
made.
