Look at the bottom of your product for a label that contains the product name. If you're looking for new

firmware, you should first look for firmware of this exact name, including the suffix, for example P650M-

31.

If you're unsure of the name or can't find the exact firmware name, please contact customer support or your

vendor.

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 Prestige'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. 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 Prestige.

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 Prestige 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

Prestige and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, that is, on your computer, local
