From the webUI, the administrator can save and load configuration files. Note that these configuration files are
non-editable binary format for configuration security. If editable configuration is desired, use the CLI script files.
Configuration files from the webUI can be used to create secure template configurations.
Note: The Configuration File contains every configuration possible including the "Admin" account password.
When combined with RADIUS network authentication, the non-editable Configuration Files provide a secure
method to pre-configure systems in a staging area and apply the secure "admin" password without revealing the
password. Contact a Motorola support person for assistance with a setting up secure, staged configurations.
To save or load a Configuration file from the webUI, access the System – Configuration screen from the webUI.
