Backing up and restoring the configuration
using FTP
You can back up and restore the configuration of the ISDN gateway through its web interface. To do
so, go to Settings > Upgrade. For more information, refer to
gateway.
You can also save the configuration of the ISDN gateway using FTP.
To back up the configuration via FTP:
1. Ensure that the FTP service is enabled on the Network > Services page.
2. Connect to the ISDN gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a user name and
password, enter the same ones that you use to log in to the unit's web interface as an
administrator.
You will see a file called configuration.xml. This contains the complete configuration of your
unit.
3. Copy this file and store it somewhere safe.
The backup process is now complete.
To restore the configuration using FTP:
1. Locate the copy of the configuration.xml file that you want to restore.
2. Ensure that the FTP service is enabled on the Network > Services page.
3. Connect to the ISDN gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a user name and
password, use the same ones that use to log in to the unit's web interface as an administrator.
4. Upload your configuration.xml file to the unit, overwriting the existing file on the unit.
5. If the restored configuration file contained changes to the ISDN port settings, you need to
reboot the unit. Go to Settings > Shutdown.
The restore process is now complete.
Note that the same process can be used to transfer a configuration from one unit to another. However,
before doing this, be sure to keep a copy of the original feature keys from the unit whose configuration
is being replaced.
If you are using the configuration file to configure a duplicate unit, for example in a network where you
have more than one ISDN gateway, be aware that if the original unit was configured with a static
address, you will need to reconfigure the IP address on any other units on which you have used the
configuration file.
