Managing the Configuration File
The configuration settings of the STM are stored in a configuration file on the STM. This file can
be saved (backed up) to a PC, retrieved (restored) from the PC, or cleared to factory default
settings.
Once the STM is installed and works properly, make a back-up of the configuration file to a
computer. If necessary, you can later restore the STM settings from this file. The Backup and
Restore Settings screen lets you:
• back up and save a copy of the current settings
• restore saved settings from the backed-up file
• revert to the factory default settings.
To display the Backup and Restore Settings screen, select Administration > Backup and Restore
Settings from the menu.
Backup Settings
The backup feature saves all STM settings to a file. These settings include:
• Network settings. IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and so on.
• Scan settings. Services to scan, primary and secondary actions, and so on.
• Update settings. Update source, update frequency, and so on.
• Anti-spam settings. Whitelist, blacklist, content filtering settings, and so on.
