26.2 Backup Configuration

Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige
configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning
properly. FTP is the preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to your
computer since they are faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however,
you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don't have to rename
the files.
Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the computer. Download means to
transfer from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the
Prestige.
