prompt, the Prestige will go into debug mode. Follow the procedure below to upload the configuration file:

software to the default before you can connect to the Prestige again. The password will be reset to the

TFTP Transfer

and the configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should
work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.
