19.1.2 What You Need To Know About Tools
Filename Conventions
The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory
default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. It
arrives from ZyXEL with a “rom” filename extension. Once you have customized
the P-660H-T1v3s's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a
filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file)
is the system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension. Find this firmware at
www.zyxel.com.With many FTP and TFTP clients, the filenames are similar to
those seen next.
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file
"firmware.bin" to the P-660H-T1v3s.
ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file
“config.cfg”.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different
than the source, you will need to rename them as the P-660H-T1v3s only
recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for
later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to
the filename on the P-660H-T1v3s and the external filename refers to the filename
not
on the P-660H-T1v3s, 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 Status screen to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware
version.

log and the trace log.
