15.4 Backup/Flash Firmware
Downloading the configuration files at an external drive location and updating the configuration files from an
external file is a common feature. It helps the user to keep a backup of different configuration files and even makes
it easier to apply the same in multiple devices. The device supports dual firmware.
15.4.1 Generate Backup
Download the existing configuration of the device in a file with this option. The user can use this backup file and
apply the same configuration again from “Upload configuration or backup” screen. This avoids configuration of
each and every parameter again and again, if a similar configuration is already available in the backup files.
A basic overview of the Backup/Flash Firmware screen to generate the backup is given below:
