7.2 Backup
Configuration
The Prestige displays messages explaining how to backup, restore and upload
files via Telnet in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2.
Enter 5 from
Menu 24 - System Maintenance
to backup the current Prestige configuration on your
computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. FTP is the preferred
methods for backing up your current configuration to your computer since it is fastest. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the
download/upload and you don’t have to rename the files.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer
from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.
