To transfer your current workstation configuration to your Prestige, follow the
procedure below:
1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation.
2. Type "open" and the IP address of your Prestige. Then type "root" and your SMT
password as requested.
3. Type "put backupfilename rom-spt" where "backupfilename" is the name of your backup
configuration file on your workstation and "rom-spt" is the remote file name on the
Prestige. This restores the configuration to your Prestige.
4. The system reboots automatically after a successful file transfer.
For details on FTP commands, please consult the documentation of your FTP client
program. For details on restoring using TFTP (note that you must remain in menu 24.6
to restore using TFTP), please see the Prestige manual.

14.3.2 Restore using TFTP
Even though TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended. To use TFTP, your workstation must
have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the configuration file, follow the procedure below. See also the
TFTP example later in this chapter. Follow steps 1 to 4 as outlined previously in 14.2.2, then continue with the
steps below.
Step 1.
Go to SMT menu 24.6. You must remain in this menu until file transfer is complete.
Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation. The remote file name on
Step 2.
the Prestige is "rom-spt".
Step 3.
The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.
The telnet connection must be active before and during TFTP transfer.
For UNIX, use "binary" to set binary transfer mode before using "get" to transfer from the Prestige to the
computer. For details on TFTP commands, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program.
14.3.3 Restore using the Console Port
You can restore the backup configuration on your computer either through FTP or TFTP (preferred methods as they
are faster) or through the RS-232 console port (if the network is down). To restore via the console port any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform the
download/upload. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.
FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for restoring your current workstation
configuration to your Prestige since FTP or TFTP is faster. Please note that the
system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.
Ready to Restore Configuration via Xmodem.
Do you want to continue (Y/N):
Go to menu 24.6.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Press "Y" to indicate that you want to continue. The following procedure is for the HyperTerminal
program. The procedure for other serial communications programs should be similar.
