Transferring Files
This chapter tells you how to back up and restore your configuration file as well as upload new
firmware and a new configuration file.
11.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (sometimes called the romfile or romfile-0) contains the settings in the menus such as
password, DHCP Setup defaults, TCP/IP Setup defaults, etc. The external (i.e., not on the Prestige)
configuration filename is usually the router model name with a *.rom extension, e.g., P100L.rom. The RAS
firmware file is the file that contains the ZyXEL Network Operating System firmware and the external
firmware file is usually called the router model name with a *.bin extension, e.g., P100L.bin. Rename the
configuration filename to “rom-0” and the firmware filename to “ras” when transferring files to the Prestige
(i.e., the internal filenames on the Prestige). Renaming the files is not necessary when you transfer files to
the Prestige using the X-Modem protocol.
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, i.e., on your workstation, local
network or ftp site and so the name (but not the extension) varies. The AT command is the command you
enter after you press “Y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode. After uploading new
firmware see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 to check if you have uploaded the correct
firmware version.
