Back Up and Restore the Extender Configuration
When the extender works correctly after initial setup, we recommend that you back up the
extender configuration settings. After you back up the settings, if you change the extender
configuration settings but are not content with the new settings, you can restore the extender
configuration to the backed-up settings.
