The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup,
TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a "cfg" filename extension. Once you have customized the
ZyAIR's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
The system firmware and has a "bin" filename extension.
If your TFTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will

ZyAIR and the external filename refers to the filename not on the ZyAIR, that is, on your computer, local
network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
