Firmware and Configuration File
This chapter tells you how to backup and restore your configuration file as well as upload new
firmware and configuration files using the SMT screens.

34.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings
in the menus such as password and TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a rom
filename extension. Once you have customized the ZyAIR'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
ZyAIR.
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 ZyAIR only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
