The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new firmware into effect. While the
system resets, the LEDs will blink on and off.

The Netopia R5000 Series Router can be configured by downloading a configuration file. The downloaded file
reconfigures all of the Router’s parameters.
Configuration files are available from a site maintained by your organization’s network administrator or from
your local site (see “Uploading configuration files,” below).
Follow these steps to download a configuration file:
1. Make sure you have the configuration file on disk and know the path to its location.
2. Select Send Config to Netopia and press Return. The following dialog box appears:
3. Select CANCEL to exit without downloading the file, or select CONTINUE to download 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.
The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new configuration into effect.

A file containing a snapshot of the Netopia R5000 Series Router’s current configuration can be uploaded from
the router to disk. The file can then be downloaded by a different Netopia R5000 Series Router 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 R5000 Series Router 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.
