Backing up and restoring the configuration
using FTP
You can back up and restore the configuration of the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway through its
web interface. To do so, go to Settings > Upgrade. For more information, refer to
Upgrading and
backing up the ISDN Gateway.
You can also save the configuration of the ISDN Gateway using FTP.
To back up the configuration via FTP:
1. Ensure that FTP is enabled on the Network > Services page.
2. Connect to the ISDN Gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a user name and
password, enter the same ones that you use to log in to the ISDN Gateway's web interface as
an administrator.
3. You will see a file called configuration.xml. This contains the complete configuration of your
ISDN Gateway.
4. Copy this file and store it somewhere safe.
The backup process is now complete.
To restore the configuration using FTP:
1. Locate the copy of the configuration.xml file that you want to restore.
2. Ensure that FTP is enabled on the Network > Services page.
3. Connect to the ISDN Gateway using an FTP client. When asked for a user name and
password, use the same ones that use to log in to the ISDN Gateway's web interface as an
administrator.
4. Upload your configuration.xml file to the unit, overwriting the existing file on the unit.
5. If the restored configuration file contained changes to the ISDN port settings, you need to
restart the ISDN Gateway. Go to Settings > Shutdown.
The restore process is now complete.
Note: that the same process can be used to transfer a configuration from one ISDN Gateway to
another of the same model number. However, before doing this, be sure to keep a copy of the original
feature keys from the ISDN Gateway whose configuration is being replaced.
If you are using the configuration file to configure a duplicate ISDN Gateway, for example in a network
where you have more than one, be aware that if the original ISDN Gateway was configured with a
static address, you will need to reconfigure the IP address on any others on which you have used the
configuration file.
