The configuration data, system-related data, the error log and the trace log are all stored in the 
configuration file. Please be aware that uploading the configuration file replaces everything 
contained within. 

                       Menu 24.6 - Restore Configuration

  To transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure
  below:

    1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation.
    2. Type "open" and the IP address of your router.  Then type "admin" and
       SMT password as requested.
    3. Type "put backupfilename rom-0" where backupfilename is the name of
       your backup configuration file on your workstation and rom-spt is the
       remote file name on the router. This restores the configuration to
       your router.
    4. The system reboots automatically after a successful file transfer.

  For details on FTP commands, please consult the documentation of your FTP
  client program. For details on restoring using TFTP (note that you must
