Chapter 8 Tools

This page includes the basic configuration tools, such as Configuration Tools (save or restore

configuration settings), Firmware Upgrade (upgrade system firmware) and Reset.

8.1 Configuration

Tools

- 76 -

The Configuration Tools screen allows you to “Backup” the router’s current configuration setting.

Saving the configuration settings provides an added protection and convenience when problems occur

and you have to reset to factory default. With the saved file, you can re-load the saved configuration

into the router through the “Restore”

function.

If extreme problems occur you can use the “Restore to

Factory Defaults” selection, this will set all configurations to its original default settings.
