Refer to Chapter 17, “Remote Management,” on page 185 for information about
configurations that disallow TFTP and FTP over WAN.
Restore configuration
This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that
this function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up
configuration; do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration
file stored on disk.
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to
your BCM50a Integrated Router since FTP is faster. note that you must wait for
the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is complete.
Restore Using FTP
For details about back up using FTP and TFTP, refer to “Backup configuration”
on page 162.
Binary Transfer the file in binary mode.
Abort Stop transfer of the file.
Warning: Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this can
permanently damage your BCM50a Integrated Router.
