Settings backup and restore

The settings backup and restore page is used to backup or restore the router’s configuration or to reset it to factory defaults. In

order to view the settings page you must be logged into the web user interface as root using the password admin. The backup

and restore functions can be used to easily configure a large number of CDMA M2M router by configuring one router with your

desired settings, backing them up to a file and then restoring that file to multiple CDMA M2M routers.
