10.8 Upload Firmware
Menu 24.7 – System Maintenance – Upload Firmware allows you to upgrade the firmware and the
configuration file via the console port. The firmware and configuration file may also be uploaded via FTP.
There are 2 components in the system: the router firmware and the configuration file, as shown in the next
figure. Restoring the configuration as in Menu 24.6 copies your (customized) backup configuration from
your computer to the Prestige. Note that you must be able to access the SMT to do this. Uploading the
configuration file via Menu 24.7.2 on the other hand rewrites all configuration data, as well as system-
related data, the error log and the trace log. If you forget your password for instance you will need to use
Menu 24.7.2 as you can use this method in debug mode. However, your customized settings will be reset to
the default values (including your password being reset to 1234, the Prestige default password).
