4.2 Auto-Provision
Click Maintenance > System > Auto Provision to open this screen. If you need
to provision more than one ZyXEL Device, use this screen to back up (save) the
ZyXEL Device’s current configuration to a text file on your computer. Edit the
configuration file using a text editor and put it on an auto-provisioning server.
Then configure the ZyXEL Device to download the configuration file (and firmware)
automatically from the auto-provisioning server, meaning you do not have to
upload them manually.
