23.15 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings
in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a
"rom" filename extension. Once you have customized the ZyWALL's settings, they can be
saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the
system firmware and has a "bin" filename extension. Find this firmware at
www.zyxel.com.With many FTP and TFTP clients, the filenames are similar to those seen
next.
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the
ZyWALL.
ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file
"
config.cfg
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the ZyWALL only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the ZyWALL and the external filename refers to the filename not on the ZyWALL, that is,
on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, see the Status screen to confirm that you have uploaded the
correct firmware version.

23.16 File Maintenance Over WAN

TFTP, FTP and Telnet over the WAN will not work when:
1 The firewall is active (turn the firewall off or create a firewall rule to allow access from
the WAN).
2 You have disabled the service in the remote management screens (see
page 291).
3 The IP you entered in the Secure Client IP field in the remote management screens does
not match the client IP. The ZyWALL disconnects the session immediately if it does not
match (see
ZyWALL P1 User's Guide
".
