Figure 174   Successful Backup Confirmation Screen

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this 
function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; 
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.  

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your ZyXEL 
Device since FTP is faster.  Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically 
restart after the file transfer is complete.

Note: WARNING! Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may 

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR ZyXEL Device.

For details about backup using (T)FTP please refer to earlier sections on FTP and TFTP file 
upload in this chapter

  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 "root" 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
  remain on this menu to restore using TFTP), please see your router
  manual.
