11.1 Administration of Configuration Files
Flash X4000 reads its configuration information from configuration files. These
configuration files are stored in the flash EEPROM (electronically eraseable,
programmable read-only memory) of X4000 . Several different configuration
files can be stored in the flash memory. The data also remains stored in the
flash when X4000 is switched off.
Memory The current configuration and all changes you set during the operation of X4000
are stored in the working memory (RAM). The contents of the RAM are lost
when X4000 is switched off. So if you modify your configuration and want to
retain these changes for the next time you start X4000 , you have to save the
modified configuration to the flash before switching off: Exit
➧
Save as boot
configuration and exit (see chapter 7.4, page 186 ). This file is then saved in
the flash as a boot configuration file under the name "boot". When X4000 is
started again, this very file, the configuration file with the name "boot", is loaded
in the RAM and becomes operative.
Operations Imagine the flash memory as a directory of configuration files. The files in this
directory can be copied, moved, erased and newly filed. It is also possible to
transfer configuration files between X4000 and a remote host by TFTP.
Windows In Windows, you can use the TFTP server of DIME Tools (see BRICKware for
Windows ). You can then, for example, save a configuration file from X4000 on
your local PC.
Unix A TFTP server is part of the system in Unix; please read the instructions
included in the Software Reference.
You can perform the various operations with the help of the Setup Tool:

menu.
The names of the files to be transferred with the TFTP server of DIME Tools
may only consist of a maximum of 8 characters (and a maximum of 3
characters as extension), e.g. b5104.x4a.
