CHAPTER 8
Maintenance
Overview
This chapter provides information on the Maintenance screens. Use the Maintenance menu

8.1.1
Available Functions
Use the Firmware screen to upload firmware to the BU and all connected RUs (Section
8.2).
Use the Config File screen to save your configuration as a file, download configuration
files from the BU to your computer, or upload configuration files from your computer to
the BU (Section 8.3).
Use the User Account screen to manage user accounts and privileges (Section 8.4).
Use the Restart screen to reboot ZoneDAS (BU and RUs) (Section 8.5).
The Firmware Screen
ZoneDAS upgrades its firmware in 2 steps. First the firmware is uploaded into ZoneDAS
through a computer console. Then the firmware is actually applied. This 2-step process
prevents complications that may arise through broken connections or computer failure.
Firmware files come in unified packages and are available at www.zyxel.com. The upload
process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a
successful upload, the firmware can be installed. After firmware installation, the system will
reboot.
