11.7 Configuration Backup/Restore Screen

Backup configuration allows you to back up (save) the PLA's current configuration to a file on your
computer. Once your PLA is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you
back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup configuration file will
be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Restore configuration allows you to upload a new or previously saved configuration file from your
computer to your PLA.
Click Maintenance > Backup/Restore. Information related to factory defaults, backup configuration,
and restoring configuration appears as shown next.

DESCRIPTION
Click Backup to save the PLA's current configuration to your computer.
Type in the location of the file you want to upload in this field or click Browse... to find it.
Click Browse... to find the file you want to upload. Remember that you must decompress
compressed (.ZIP) files before you can upload them.
Click Upload to begin the upload process.
Note: Do not turn off the PLA while configuration file upload is in progress.
After you click Upload, you must then wait one minute before logging into the PLA again. The
PLA automatically restarts in this time causing a temporary network disconnect.
Pressing the Reset button in this section clears all user-entered configuration information and
returns the PLA to its factory defaults.
You can also press the RESET button on the rear panel to reset the factory defaults of your PLA.
Refer to the chapter about introducing the Web Configurator for more information on the RESET
button.
