21.3 Restore Configuration

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function erases the current
configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not attempt to restore unless you have a
backup configuration file stored on disk.
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your VES since FTP is faster.
Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is complete.
DO NOT INTERUPT THE FILE TRANSFER PROCESS AS THIS MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE
WHEN THE RESTORE CONFIGURATION PROCESS IS COMPLETE, THE VES WILL
21.3.1 Restore Using FTP or TFTP

procedure below:
1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation.
2. Type "open" and the IP address of your router. Then type "root" and
SMT password as requested.
3. Type "put backupfilename rom-0" where backupfilename is the name of
your backup configuration file on your workstation and rom-spt is the

your router.
