8.2 Restoring Saved Parameters
Once menu-selected parameters and the Password directory have been saved, the
parameters file can be uploaded to the modem to quickly configure the unit
without the need to manually enter each parameter and password. To restore
saved parameters, proceed as follows:
NOTE
When the “Upload Parameters” function is performed via modem, the
modem will not immediately reset modem parameters. The unit will
reset all other parameters, wait for the caller to disconnect, and then
reset modem parameters.
1. Start your communications program and access the modem’s Command
mode via the console port, or via modem using the system password.
2. When the command prompt appears, type
/U
and press
[Enter]
.
a) The Utilities menu will appear. From the Utilities menu, type
6
and press
[Enter]
. The Secure Rack Modem will display a message which indicates
that the unit is ready to receive the parameters file.
b) Set your communications program to upload an ASCII text file using the
file name specified in
Section 8.1
. When the communications program is
ready, begin the upload procedure.
3. The saved parameters file will be sent to the modem, and the saved
parameters and Password directory will be restored. When the upload is
complete, make certain to terminate the communication program’s upload
mode.
