7.5.4 Save and Restore

The save and restore feature of a PTP 500 Series Bridge allows the system administrator to
backup the operation configuration of the wireless unit. It is recommended that this facility is
used immediately after a successful PTP 500 Series Bridge installation or prior to any
software upgrade. In the unlikely event that a unit has to be replaced in the field, the
replacement unit can be reconfigured by simply playing back the saved configuration file.
7.5.4.1 Save Configuration File
To save the configuration file click on the 'Save Configuration File' button (Figure 47) and
save the configuration file (.cfg) to the hard drive of your computer.
The configuration file format is MAC-mm-mm-mm_IP-iii-iii-iii-iii.cfg, where mm and iii are
the lower 3 bytes of the MAC address and the unit IP address respectively.
NOTE
There is a feature of Internet Explorer (all versions) that looks at the content of any
downloadable file and decides whether to treat the file as ASCII or binary. As a result
of this feature, Internet Explorer always treats the configuration file as ASCII and
attempts to display it instead of downloading it. Firefox (all versions) makes no such
assumption.
