7.3 Restore or Upload a Configuration File
This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function erases the
current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not attempt to restore
unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your Prestige since FTP file
transfer is fast. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is
complete.
WARNING!
DO NOT INTERUPT THE FILE TRANSFER PROCESS AS THIS MAY PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE YOUR PRESTIGE. WHEN THE RESTORE CONFIGURATION PROCESS IS
COMPLETE, THE PRESTIGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESTART.
7.3.1 Restore Using FTP
For details about backup using (T)FTP please refer to earlier sections on FTP and TFTP file upload in this
chapter.
Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.
Step 2. Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your Prestige.
Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234").
Step 5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.
Step 6. Find the "rom" file (on your computer) that you want to restore to your Prestige.
Step 7. Use "put" to transfer files from the Prestige to the computer, for example, "put config.rom rom-0"
transfers the configuration file "config.rom" on your computer to the Prestige. See earlier in this
chapter for more information on filename conventions.
Step 8. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt. The Prestige will automatically restart after a successful
restore process.
