The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the LAN-Cell and the external filename refers to the filename not
on the LAN-Cell, that is,
on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, see the ProxiOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 - System
Maintenance - Information to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
The AT command is the command you enter after you press “y” when prompted in the SMT
menu to go into debug mode.
38.3 Backup Configuration
" The LAN-Cell displays different messages explaining different ways to backup,
restore and upload files in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2 depending on
whether you use the console port or Telnet.
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current LAN-Cell
configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your LAN-Cell is
functioning properly. FTP is the preferred method for backing up your current configuration to
your computer since it is faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24
through the console port. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you
must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don’t have to rename the
files.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download
means to transfer from the LAN-Cell to the computer, while upload means from your
computer to the LAN-Cell.
