Now you have a copy of the M204’s stored configuration parameters. These files can
be saved for archival purposes, used to reconfigure the unit to a previous setting, or
used to set a number of units to the same configuration.
It is only necessary to save the files from the stored directory. Files from the default
and current directory are not required in order to restore a unit’s configuration.
Restoring a Configuration Using FTP
FTP can be used to restore a configuration saved from the unit or restore a configura-
tion saved from another unit.
If you are restoring a configuration saved from another unit, the configuration must be
of the same version as the unit receiving the configuration.
1 Change to the local directory on the host where the saved configuration files
reside.
