Using the Archive Command to Upload/
Download Configuration Settings
Introduction
The Archive command is useful in two Scenarios:
If you have set up a customized configuration that required many
3
parameters to be changed, you can use the archive command to upload
the configuration to a local computer. In the event that the SLC
ConnectReach system loses the configuration information stored in
nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM), you can use the archive
command to download the saved configuration information rather than
entering all of it again.
If you are installing multiple SLC ConnectReach system units, and all the
3
units will have nearly identical configurations, the archive command
allows you to set up one configuration, then download it to multiple units.
On individual units, you only need to set those parameters that differ from
other units.
You can upload and download configurations over either the RS-232 connection
or over the Ethernet or T1 network (refer to Chapter 5, "Installation", for
connection to the RS-232 port). An archived configuration file is stored as
American standard code for information interchange (ASCII) text. The file has two
parts:
A listing similar to the Config:Show command, including the values of all
3
configuration parameters
A hexadecimal representation of the configuration.

The following sections describe the procedures for uploading and downloading
configurations over the network and over the RS-232 port.
NOTE:
You can only use the archive command to download configuration
information to a SLC ConnectReach system that is running the same
version of the software as the SLC ConnectReach system from which the
configuration was taken.
