Configuration, Firmware and
Accounting Log Maintenance
This chapter shows you how to upgrade the firmware and configuration file and back up
configuration files and accounting logs.

27.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password,
DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. Once you have customized the settings of the ZyXEL
Device, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
It is recommended to use the ".bin" file extension for the firmware file and ".rom" for the
configuration file for management purposes.

27.2 Configuration File Maintenance

You can use the web configurator to perform configuration file backup and restore. Backing up
the configuration allows you to back up (save) the device's current configuration to a file.
Once your device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you
back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup
configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Note: WARNING!
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FILE TRANSFER PROCESS AS THIS MAY
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE.
