6.8 Upload System Configuration File
The configuration data, system-related data, the error log and the trace log are all stored in the configuration
file. Please be aware that uploading the configuration file replaces all previous configurations. You can
upgrade the configuration file either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through
the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Updating the configuration file via the
console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Please note that you
need to reboot the system after the configuration file update process is complete. Note that if you replace
the current configuration with the default configuration file, i.e.. P642M.rom, you will lose all
configurations that you had before and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600 bps
with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit(8n1). You will need to change your serial communication software
to the default before you can connect to the Prestige again. The password will be reset to the default of
1234.
