Configuration, Firmware and Accounting
Log Maintenance
This chapter shows you how to upgrade the firmware and configuration file and back up
configuration files and accounting logs.

20.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup,
TCP/IP Setup, etc. Once you have customized the settings of the ZyAIR, they can be saved back to your
computer under a filename of your choosing.
It is recommended to use the ".bin" file extension for the firmware file and ".rom" for the configuration file
for management purposes.
Visit www.zyxel.com to download the latest version of firmware for your ZyAIR.

20.2 Configuration File Maintenance

You can use the web configurator to perform configuration file backup and restore. Backing up the
configuration allows you to back up (save) the device's current configuration to a file. Once your device 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.
WARNING!
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FILE TRANSFER PROCESS AS THIS MAY
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE.
