Configuration Backup/Restore 14-1
This chapter describes the process for backing up your user settings (configuration) from the network
module onto your computer and how to restore them to the network module.
The network modules use FTP for configuration backup/restore through their built-in FTP servers. You can use
any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe
in Windows) to backup/restore the network module’s configuration.
14.1 Configuration Files of the Network Module
The network module uses configuration files to store the user’s settings, so they can be applied the next time the
network module is booted. The network module has the following two configuration files:
init = The system configuration file for the network module.
password = The configuration file for the console, Telnet and FTP password.
14.2 Configuration Backup
