Before You Begin; Tool Examples - ZyXEL Communications P-793H v3 User Manual

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 P-79X only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be sure you keep
unaltered copies of both files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on
the P-79X and the external filename refers to the filename not on the P-79X, that is, on your
computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After
uploading new firmware, see the Status screen to confirm that you have uploaded the correct
firmware version.

23.1.4 Tool Examples

Using FTP or TFTP to Restore Configuration
This example 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 device since
FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file
transfer is complete.
