15-12 Administration Guide
If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an
XMODEM transfer of the configuration file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will
disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then try
again.
The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new configuration into effect.
Uploading configuration files
A file containing a snapshot of the Netopia 4753’s current configuration can be uploaded from the router to
disk. The file can then be downloaded by a different Netopia 4753 to configure its parameters (see
“Downloading configuration files,” above). This is useful for configuring a number of routers with identical
parameters or for creating configuration backup files.
Uploading a file can also be useful for troubleshooting purposes. The uploaded configuration file can be tested
on a different Netopia 4753 by Netopia or your network administrator.
The procedure below applies whether you are using the console or the WAN interface. To upload a configuration
file:
1. Decide on a name for the file and a path for saving it.
2. Select Receive Config from Netopia and press Return. The following dialog box appears:
3. Select CANCEL to exit without uploading the file, or select CONTINUE to upload the file.
If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an
XMODEM transfer of the configuration file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will
disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then try
again.
Restarting the System
You can restart the system by selecting the Restart System item in the Utilities & Diagnostics screen.
You must restart the system whenever you reconfigure the Netopia 4753 and want the new parameter values to
take effect. Under certain circumstances, restarting the system may also clear up system or network
malfunctions. Some configuration processes automatically restart the system to apply the changes you have
made.
