Copying the Configuration Settings
Copy the startup configuration to the backup configuration to ensure that you have
a backup copy in case you forget your username and password and are locked
out of Device Manager. In this case, the only way to get back into Device Manager
is to reset the device to factory default.
The backup configuration file remains in memory and allows the backed-up
configuration information to be copied to the startup configuration, which restores
all of the settings.
To copy a configuration (for example, to copy a startup configuration to the backup
configuration):
STEP 1 Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
STEP 2 In the Copy field, choose the source and destination configurations from the drop-
down menus.
STEP 3 Click Start to Copy.
Generating an Encryption Key
The router allows you to generate an encryption key to protect the backup files.
To generate an encryption key:
STEP 1 Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
STEP 2 Click Show Advanced Settings.
STEP 3 In the box, enter the seed phrase used to generate the key.
STEP 4 Click Save.
