Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 3 • Import/Export
Introduction
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your access server’s configura-
tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a
replacement access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.
Note
All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on
Import/Export
under the
Configuration Menu
to display the
Import/Export
main window (see figure 6).

Export Configuration
Note
The exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, however to
edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.
Note
The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they are
stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating parameters. To
ensure that you export the most current parameters, go to
HOME, then click
on the
Record Current Configuration
button under Immediate Actions.
