13-12 System Maintenance
13.5 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige
configuration to your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is
functioning properly.
You must perform the backup and restore through the console port. Any serial communications
program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the
download/upload.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the workstation. Download means
to transfer from another machine to the workstation, while upload means from your workstation
to another machine.
13.6 Restore Configuration
Selecting option 6 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance to restore the configuration from your
workstation to the Prestige. Again, you must use the console port and XMODEM protocol to
restore the configuration.
Keep in mind that the configuration is stored in the flash ROM in the Prestige, so even if power
failure should occur, your configuration is safe.
