Back Up Settings
The backup feature saves all wireless VPN firewall settings to a file. Back up your settings
periodically, and store the backup file in a safe place.
Tip: Y
ou can use a backup file to export all settings to another wireless VPN
firewall that has the same language and management software versions.
Remember to change the IP address of the second wireless VPN firewall
before deploying it to eliminate IP address conflicts on the network.
To back up settings:
1. On the
Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade screen (see the previous figure), next to
Save a copy of current settings, click the Backup button to save a copy of your current
settings. A screen displays, showing the file name of the backup file (FVS318N.cfg).
2. Select Save fil
e, and then click OK.
3. Ope
n the folder in which you have saved the backup file, and then verify that it has been
saved successfully.

WARNING:
Restore only settings that were backed up from the same software
version. Restoring settings from a different software version can

software.

show the number of seconds left until the reboot process is complete. The reboot process
takes about 165 seconds. (If you can see the unit: The reboot process is complete when the
Test LED on the front panel goes off.)
