Chapter 29 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the ZyXEL Device and the external filename refers to the filename not on the ZyXEL
Device, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the
extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in
Menu 24.2.1 – System Maintenance – Information to confirm that you have uploaded the
correct firmware version. The AT command is the command you enter after you press “y”
when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode.

29.2 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current ZyXEL
Device configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your ZyXEL
Device is functioning properly. FTP is the preferred method for backing up your current
configuration to your computer since it is faster. You can also perform backup and restore
using menu 24 through the console port. Any serial communications program should work
fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don't
have to rename the files.
