Configuration, Firmware and Accounting
Log Maintenance
This chapter shows you how to upgrade the firmware and configuration file and back up
configuration files and accounting logs.

12.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup,
TCP/IP Setup, etc. Once you have customized the settings of the ZyAIR, they can be saved back to your
computer under a filename of your choosing.
It is recommended to use the ".bin" file extension for the firmware file and ".rom" for the configuration file
for management purposes.
Visit www.zyxel.com to download the latest version of firmware for your ZyAIR.

12.2 Firmware Upgrade

There are two ways to upgrade firmware to the ZyAIR: manually or scheduled.
To manually upgrade the firmware, you have to download the latest firmware first from www.zyxel.com
and then upload it to the ZyAIR.
With scheduled firmware upgraded, you need to set up a TFTP server where the ZyAIR can automatically
download the latest firmware at the specified time.
