3.3 How to backup or restore a configuration

Introduction
Once you have configured your Gateway to your needs, it is recommended to backup your configuration for later use. This way
you can always return to your working configuration in case of problems.
Backing up your configuration
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the Admin Tool (http://10.0.0.1), using a computer or device that is currently connected to you Gateway (either
wired or wirelessly).
For more information, see
2 The At a Glance page appears. Click SAVE CURRENT CONFIGURATION.
3 Your browser prompts you to save or open the backup file. Save your file to a location of your choice.
Do not edit the backup files, this may result in corrupt files making them worthless as configuration backup.
Restoring a previously saved configuration
Restoring a saved configuration will require the Gateway to restart. The reboot will cause a short service
interruption of the services provided by the Gateway.
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the Admin Tool (http://10.0.0.1).
For more information, see
