P-870HW-I1 User's Guide
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) will 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.

35.2 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, although TFTP can also be used.
Please note that the terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the computer. Download
means to transfer from the ZyXEL Device to the computer, while upload means from your
computer to the ZyXEL Device.

This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware on
the ZyXEL Device.
