321 Chapter 35 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the Prestige and the external filename refers to the filename
not on the Prestige, that is, on
your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 – System
Maintenance – Information to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
The AT command is the command you enter after you press “y” when prompted in the SMT
menu to go into debug mode.
Table 109 Filename Conventions
FILE TYPE INTERNAL NAME EXTERNAL NAME DESCRIPTION

File
Rom-0 This is the configuration filename on the
Prestige. Uploading the rom-0 file replaces the
entire ROM file system, including your Prestige
configurations, system-related data (including
the default password), the error log and the
trace log.
*.rom
Firmware Ras This is the generic name for the ZyNOS
firmware on the Prestige.
*.bin
35.2 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige
configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is
functioning properly. FTP is the preferred methods for backing up your current configuration
to your computer since they are faster. Any serial communications program should work fine;
however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don’t have
to rename the files.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download
means to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer
to the Prestige.
