8.3.1.5 Save and Restore Configuration File
The save and restore feature of a PTP 500 Series Bridge allows the system administrator to
backup the operation configuration of the wireless unit. It is recommended that this facility is
used immediately after a successful PTP 500 Series Bridge installation or prior to any
software upgrade. In the unlikely event that a unit has to be replaced in the field, the
replacement unit can be reconfigured by simply playing back the saved configuration file.

There is a feature of Internet Explorer (all versions) that will always look at the content of any downloadable file
as make an assessment whether to treat the file as an ASCII or binary file. Unfortunately the configuration file is
always treated as ASCII and the browser attempts to display it instead of downloading it. Firefox (all versions)
makes no such assumptions.

The configuration file format is MAC-mm-mm-mm_IP-iii-iii-iii-iii.cfg where mm and iii are the lower 3 bytes of
the MAC address and the unit IP address respectively.
