3.4.5 Managing the 4Motion Configuration File
4Motion configuration parameters are stored in a default configuration file that
resides in the NPU flash. When you start 4Motion for the first time after
installation, the system boots up with the factory default configuration. After the
system boots up, you can use the CLI to modify the values of parameters (for
which default values exist), and specify values for the remaining parameters.
You can also download the configuration file from an external TFTP server, and
use the configuration parameters in this file to boot up the 4Motion system. In
addition, you can batch-process commands.
It is recommended that you make periodic backups of the configuration file. You
can either manually make a backup of this file or configure the system to
automatically make a daily backup. You can, at any time, restore the
configuration specified in the backup file or the factory default configuration.
This section describes the commands for:
“Saving the Current Configuration” on page 160
“Downloading a Configuration File/Vendor Startup File from an External
Server” on page 160
“Displaying the Status of the last File Download Operations” on page 162
“Making a Backup/Restoring the Configuration File” on page 163

IMPORTANT
You can, at any time, restore factory default configuration parameters. If you have not saved
configuration since the first time the system was started (after installation), the system boots up with
the factory default parameters at the next system reset.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you periodically save changes to configuration. (The saved configuration is
written to a file that resides in the NPU flash.) If you have modified any configuration parameters at
runtime, it is recommended that you save configuration before resetting/shutting down 4Motion.
Unsaved configuration is lost after system reset or shut down.
