Save & Import Configuration
So you've spent time installing your V-Portal and perhaps customizing it. Maybe you've set up some
parental controls or entered some special port forwarding rules. It's working great – now what? We
recommend you save your configuration.
When you save the configuration you are saving all the router settings you have configured in the device.
Examples of the settings that are saved are ISP information including DSL PPPoE user name and
passwords, security settings, parental controls and parental control override password.
It is a good idea to save your current configuration for a couple of reasons:
•
If you will be using your Vonage device in different locations
•
In the event you need to perform a reset of the device (either by pressing the reset button on the
back of the device or via the Factory Defaults page of the Web UI)
Having multiple configurations is useful if you use your V-Portal at different locations. For example, suppose
you travel extensively between New York and Vancouver. You can have a configuration file for each city.
The file will contain all information necessary for you to connect to your ISP in that city. When you move
from one location to the other, you can simply restore the configuration file for that city. You will not need to
go through the user interface and reset all your router values.
Although it's not common, there may be a need to perform a hard reset on the V-Portal. Typically the only
reasons you may need to perform a hard reset of the device is if you forget the password you defined
(assuming you changed it from the default password) or you are instructed to do so by a member of
Vonage's Customer Care team. If you perform a hard reset, it resets all the settings you entered back to the
original values. The V-Portal will be exactly as it was when you first took it out of the box and installed it.
Log in to the Web UI. From the home page click on the Basic Setup tab and then choose the Save &
Import Configuration sub-menu. The following screen will be displayed:
