Import Configuration
You can configure the base station by importing a configuration file from your
computer or your local network. For more information about configuration file types
and configuration file formatting, see Provisioning Using Configuration Files on page
53.
To import a configuration file:
1. Click
2. Click
The base station will update its configuration.
Manually importing a configuration file differs from the auto-provisioning process in that:
 The base station does not check whether the file has been loaded before. The
configuration file is processed whether or not it is different from the current
version.
 The base station will restart immediately after importing the configuration file,
without waiting for one minute of activity.
Export Configuration
You can export all the settings you have configured on the WebUI and save them as
a configuration file on your computer. You can then use this configuration file as a
backup, or use it to update other base stations.
NOTE: The exported configuration file will contain the following passwords in plain
text:
 SIP account authentication password
 EAPOL password
 Firmware server password
 Provisioning server password
 Encryption passphrase
Please ensure that you save the exported configuration file in a secure location.
To export the configuration file:
1. Click .
The format of the exported file is <model name>_<mac address>.cfg. For
example, VSP600_0011A0OCF489.cfg.
Exporting a configuration file generates two header lines in the configuration file.
These header lines provide the model number and software version in the following
format:
#Model Number = xxxxxxx
#SW Version = xxxxxxx
