Configuration File Management

The configuration settings of the WPN824 router are stored within the router in a configuration
file. This file can be saved (backed up) to a user's computer, retrieved (restored) from the user's
computer, or cleared to factory default settings.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Backup
Settings to display the menu shown below.
Figure 6-5
Three options are available, and are described in the following sections.
Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration
The backup and restore options in the Settings Backup menu allow you to save and retrieve a file
containing your router's configuration settings.
To save your settings, click the Back Up button. Your browser will extract the configuration file
from the router and will prompt you for a location on your computer to store the file. You can give
the file a meaningful name at this time, such as pacbell.cfg.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer or click the Browse button to browse to the file. When you have located it, click the
Restore button to send the file to the router. The router will then reboot automatically.
Warning: Do not interrupt the reboot process.
