Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters
15.3. Restoring Previously Saved Parameters
If you make a mistake while configuring the AFS-16 unit, and wish to return to the
previously saved parameters, the Text Interface's "Reboot System" command (/I) offers
the option to reinitialize the AFS-16 using previously backed up parameters. This allows
you to reset the unit to previously saved parameters, even after you have changed
parameters and saved them.

To restore the previously saved configuration, proceed as follows:
1. Access command move via the Text Interface, using a username/password that
permits access to Administrator level commands (see Section 5.1.1.)
2. At the RSM command prompt, type /I and press [Enter]. The AFS-16 will display
a submenu that offers several different reboot options.
3. At the submenu, select Item 4 (Reboot & Restore Last Known Working
Configuration,) type 4, and then press [Enter].
4. The AFS-16 will reboot and previously saved parameters will be restored.
