Maintaining the Application and Configuration Files Through the
CLI
After the access controller is normally started, you can back up and restore the application and
configuration files through the CLI.
Maintaining the Access Controller Through TFTP
Use the WX5004 as a TFTP client and a file server as the TFTP server. You can use commands on the
configuration terminal, which can be the same file server, to upload the application and configuration
files from the access controller to the file server or download the files from the file server to the access
controller.
Setting up a configuration environment
Set up a network environment (for the procedure, refer to section “Upgrading Applications Through an
Ethernet Interface” on page 5-16). Run the TFTP Server on the file server and set the file path.

Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP
address of the TFTP server to 192.168.0.1, and that of the access controller’s management interface to
192.168.0.2. Then use
ping
to verify the network connectivity.
Backing up and restoring application and configuration files
After setting up the environment, perform the following operations on the PC:
View the files in the current file system with the

command.

on the access controller and save it as

on the
TFTP server, use the following command:
