7.9.5 Backup and Upload Configuration File (Service Terminal Interface only)
This operation may be performed only through the Service Terminal Interface. It permits the user to
make a copy of the AC8’s configuration settings and save it as a file on the computer connected
through the RS232 port. Should the need arise, the user can upload the configuration file from the
computer to the AC8, instead of re-entering the settings manually.
To access these options:
1. Connect to the AC8 either from a remote computer or through the RS232 port (see
A.2 - Connecting to the Service Terminal Interface).
2. At the Main Menu, enter 0 (zero—Setup System - Login Required).
3. At the Login Menu, enter your password, then press the Enter key.
4. At the Setup Menu, enter 7 (Setup System Information).
5. At the Setup System Information Menu, enter 5 (Backup & Upload Configuration File). The
Backup & Upload Configuration File menu appears, shown below:
6. Enter 1 to back up the configuration file from the AC8 to the computer and proceed to Step 8,
OR
7. Enter 2 to upload the configuration file from the computer to the AC8 and proceed to Step 13.
NOTE: This will replace the current configuration settings in the AC8 with the most recent
backup.
