Send and Recv passwords, Security profile passwords, and passwords specified
in the Ethernet profile (Mod Config menu), are all set to the null password when
you restore a configuration from a saved file. Be sure to record your passwords
off-line if you need to restore them.
Before you start, verify that your terminal emulation program has a disk capture
feature. Disk capture allows your emulator to capture to disk the ASCII
characters it receives at its serial port. You should also verify that the data rate of
your terminal emulation program is set to 9600 baud or lower and that the Term
Rate parameter in the System profile (Sys Config menu) is also set to 9600.
Higher speeds might cause capture errors.
You can cancel the backup process at any time by typing Ctrl-C.
To save the Pipeline configuration (except passwords) to disk:
1
Open the System > Sys Diag menu.
00-201 Restore Cfg
>00-202 Save Cfg
00-203 Sys Reset
00-204 Term Serv

Select Save Cfg and press Enter.

Turn on the Capture feature of your communications program and supply a
filename for the saved profiles.
Consult the documentation for your communications program if you have
any questions about how to turn on the Capture feature. Note that the
HyperTerm and Terminal programs that ship with Microsoft Windows do not
reliably save downloaded information.
4
Press any key to start saving your configured profiles.
Rows of configuration information are displayed on the screen as the file is
downloaded to your hard disk. When the file has been downloaded to your
hard disk, your communications program displays a message indicating the
download is complete.

Turn off the Capture feature of your communications program.

Print a copy of your configured profiles for later reference.
