Firmware and Configuration Maintenance
This chapter tells you how to back up and restore your configuration file as well as upload new
firmware and a new configuration file.

11.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus
such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a rom filename extension.
Once you have customized the Prestige's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename
of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the system firmware
and has a "bin" filename extension. With many ftp and tftp clients, the filenames are similar to those seen
next.
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample ftp session showing the transfer of the computer file " firmware.bin" to the Prestige.
ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample ftp session saving the current configuration to the computer file config.cfg.
If your (t)ftp client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need
to rename them as the Prestige only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both
files for later use.
