2.0 Backup configuration

To backup the individual configuration files follow the process below.

2.1 Locate the files

Status > File Directory

4 files need to be saved from the router’s flash memory, these are config.da0 (the current config),

sregs.dat (the ASY port S registers), fw.txt (the firewall rules) & x3prof (pad profiles). Right click

each file and choose to save the file to your desktop, then move the files to a secure location such

as a backed up file server.

2.2 Restore configuration

In a disaster recovery situation, obtain your spare router and ensure the firmware is at the same

level as your previous router. Via the serial ASY 0 connection and your terminal emulation

software, configure a temporary IP address on Ethernet 0 in the same subnet as your PC to

facilitate an FTP connection. (Serial settings 115200, 8-none-1, no flow control)

Check serial comms: at

Set the IP address: eth 0 ipaddr 10.1.51.2

Set the Subnet mask: eth 0 mask 255.255.0.0

FTP the 4 files from your backup onto the router, the files in the example have been placed in

c:\sarian_backup\

Open a command prompt: Start > Run > command

FTP to the configured IP address: ftp 10.1.51.2

Enter the username and password to login (u=username / p=password)

Change to binary mode: bin

Change the local directory: lcd c:\sarian_backup

Transfer the files: mput *

Logout: bye

Reboot the router, when it restarts the configuration is restored.
