Backing Up Your
Configuration
Users who change the configuration settings for the X5 may want
to back up their settings. This will enable them to restore those
settings at a later time, if needed.
This feature may be especially useful when you receive firmware
updates from Zoom. Installing the update may overwrite your
customized settings with default values. Before you update the
firmware, backup your configuration. Then, after the firmware has
been updated, restore your configuration.
Note:
You do not need to back up the default settings. This is because
you can easily restore the defaults by clicking on Advanced Setup
on the left pane of the window, then Management Æ Settings Æ
Restore Default. For more information, see Resetting Default
Settings on page 39.
To back up your current configuration
Use the Backup page to save your modem’s current configuration
to a file on your computer.
1 Click on the Management link on the left pane of the
window. Then click on the Settings link. Then click on the
Backup link.
2 On the Backup page, click Backup Settings to download a
configuration file from the X5 to a folder on your computer.
3 Be sure to note the name (backupsettings.conf) and location.
You will need this information if you ever want to restore the
X5 to this backed-up configuration. (You can change the
name of the file and specify a location for it on your computer
after it is downloaded.)
