The RF Gateway 1 allows configuration changes to be saved to the files in the flash 
file system. Configuration information can be classified as platform-generic or 
platform-specific. Platform-generic information applies to many systems while 
platform-specific applies to individual systems. For example, IP addresses and 
system name or location are platform-specific parameters. QAM card configuration 
is considered generic and common to many systems. This segregation provides the 
ability to clone and distribute system configuration throughout the network. 
Platform-generic information is saved by clicking the Save button at the top of the 
web interface page.  

This operation performs a global save of the RF Gateway 1 configuration.  The 
configuration information is saved in the file /tffs0/rfgw_xml_db.gz in the flash 
with a backup copy also kept in /tffs0/rfgw_xml_db_bkup.gz.  Once saved in the 
flash, the system configuration file can then be transferred to a remote FTP server as 
described in Configuration Backup (on page 74). 

The platform-specific configuration parameters are saved in a different set of files, 
/tffs0/rfgw_ot.xml for primary and /tffs0/rfgw_ot_bkup.xml for backup.  These 
files are updated as certain parameters are changed from the web interface.  These 
parameters are unlikely to change after their initial configuration. 

Software version 1.3.11 has an automatic save feature which allows applied database 
changes to be automatically saved to preserve them in nonvolatile memory. 

 

The RF Gateway 1 performs configuration backup via FTP to a backup server. The 
backup databases generally contain QAM parameters, channel application modes 
and mapping tables.  The backup databases generally do not include IP networking 
settings (including management as well as GbE input port parameters).
