Prestige 1400 WAN Router with Integrated Ethernet Switch
Chapter 14
Configuration & Firmware Maintenance
This chapter describes how to backup and restore your configuration file as well as upload new firmware
and a new configuration file.
14.1
Filenames
The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP
Setup etc. It arrives from ZyXEL named "prestige.rom" or something similar. Once you have customized the
Prestige's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing. Choose something
meaningful, e.g., "prestige.cfg". Rename it as "rom-spt" or "rom-0" when transferring files to the Prestige.
Renaming is not necessary if you transfer files using the XMODEM protocol.
The ZyNOS firmware file (sometimes referred to as the ras file) is the file that contains the ZyXEL Network
Operating System firmware and is usually named the router model name with a "bin" extension, e.g.,
"prestige.bin". Rename it as "ras-m" or "ras-b" when uploading to the Prestige main block and backup block
respectively using TFTP or FTP. With serial (Xmodem) transfer and many ftp and tftp clients, the filenames on the
computer are your choice.
ftp> put prestige.bin ras
This is a sample ftp session showing the transfer of the "prestige.bin" file on your computer to the Prestige.
ftp> get rom-0 prestige.cfg
This is a sample ftp session saving the current configuration to the "prestige.cfg" file on your computer.
If your (t)ftp client does not allow a destination filename different from the source, then you will need to rename
them. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the Prestige and the external filename refers to the
filename not on the Prestige, i.e., on your workstation, local network or ftp site and so the name (but not the
extension) will vary.
Always refer to Menu 24.2.1 to verify your current firmware version.
