Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

You can back up the configuration of the ISDN gateway to a file that you can store away from the unit. If necessary this

file can be used to restore the configuration of the unit.

To back up the configuration:

1. Ensure that the FTP service is enabled on the Home > Settings > Services page.

2. Connect to the ISDN gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a username and password, use the same

ones that use to log in to the unit's web interface as an administrator. You will see a file called configuration.

xml. This contains the complete configuration of your unit.

3. Copy this file and store it somewhere safe.

The backup process is now complete.

To restore the configuration:

1. Locate the copy of the configuration.xml file that you want to restore.

2. Ensure that the FTP service is enabled on the Home > Settings > Services page.

3. Connect to the ISDN gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a username and password, use the same

ones that use to log in to the unit's web interface as an administrator.

4. Upload your configuration.xml file to the unit, overwriting the existing file on the unit.

The restore process is now complete.

Note that you must reboot the unit if the restored configuration file contains changes to the ISDN port settings.

The same process can be used to transfer a configuration from one unit to another. However, before doing this, be sure

to keep a copy of the original feature keys from the unit whose configuration is being replaced.
