Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router
You can perform the backup, restore and upload through the console port, TFTP or FTP. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the
download/upload.
Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the workstation. Download means to transfer
from another machine to the workstation, while upload means from your workstation to another machine.

10.1 Backup Configuration

Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to
your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly.

10.1.1 Backup using the Console Port

You can perform the backup either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through
the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Backup via the console port under normal
conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster.
