CHAPTER 11: MAINTENANCE 119
To restore your Dominion KX II:
WARNING: Please exercise caution when restoring your Dominion KX II to an
earlier version. Usernames and password in place at the time of the backup
will be restored. If you do not remember the old administrative usernames and
passwords, you will be locked out of the KX II.
In addition, if you used a different IP Address at the time of the backup, that IP
Address will be restored as well. If the configuration uses DHCP, you may
want to perform this operation only when you have access to the local port to
check the IP address after the update.
1. Select the type of restore you want to run:
• Full Restore. A complete restore of the entire system; generally used for traditional
backup and restore purposes.
• Protected Restore. Everything is restored except device-specific information such as
serial number, MAC Address, IP Address, name, port names, etc. With this option, you
can setup one Dominion KX II and copy the configuration to multiple KX II devices.
• Custom Restore. With this option, you can select User and Group Restore, Device
Settings Restore, or both. Check the appropriate checkboxes:
User and Group Restore. This option includes only user and group information.
Use this option to quickly setup users on a different Dominion KX II.
Device Settings Restore. This option includes only device settings. Use this option
to quickly copy the device information.
2. Click the Browse button. A Choose file dialog opens.
3. Navigate to and select the appropriate backup file and click Open. The file selected is listed
in the Restore File field.
4. Click Restore. The configuration (based on the type of restore selected) is restored.
