Back Up the Startup-Config

The TMS zl Module allows you to save your current startup-config to an

external drive. It is recommended that you frequently save the startup-config

to a hard drive so that you can restore it to the TMS zl Module if the running-

config becomes corrupted or unusable for any reason.

To back up the current startup-config:

1. Click System > Maintenance and click the Back Up/Restore tab.
