and a new browser window opens to indicate the progress of the upload. When finished, the
browser window refreshes and indicates that the "Loader image upgrade completed."

Backing up and restoring the configuration
The
Backup and restore
section of the
Settings > Upgrade
page provides tools to allow you to back
up and restore the configuration of the ISDN gateway. This enables you to either go back to a
previous configuration after making changes or to effectively "clone" one unit as another by copying its
configuration.
To back up the configuration, click
Save backup file
and save the resulting "configuration.xml" file to a
secure location.
To restore configuration at a later date, locate a previously-saved "configuration.xml" file and click
Restore backup file
. When restoring a new configuration file to a ISDN gateway you can control
which parts of the configuration are overwritten:
If you check the
Network settings
box, the network configuration will be overwritten with the
network settings in the supplied file. Typically you would only check this box if you were
restoring from a file backed up from the same ISDN gateway or if you were intending to
replace an out of service ISDN gateway. If you copy the network settings from a different,
active, ISDN gateway and there is a clash (for instance, both are now configured to use the
same fixed IP address) one or both boxes may become unreachable via IP.
If you check the
User settings
box, the current user accounts and passwords will be
overwritten with those in the supplied file. If you overwrite the user settings and there is no
user account in the restored file corresponding to your current login, you will need to log in
again after the file has been uploaded.
By default, the overwrite controls are unchecked, and so the existing network settings and user
accounts will be preserved.
Note that you can also back up and restore the configuration of the ISDN gateway using FTP. For
more information, refer to
Backing up and restoring the configuration using FTP
.
Enabling ISDN gateway features
The ISDN gateway requires activation before most of its features can be used. (If the ISDN gateway
has not been activated, the banner at the top of the web interface will show a prominent warning; in
every other respect the web interface will look and behave normally.)
If this is a new ISDN gateway you should receive the unit already activated; if it is not, you have
upgraded to a newer firmware version, or you are enabling a new feature, you may need to contact
your supplier to obtain an appropriate activation code. Activation codes are unique to a particular
ISDN gateway so ensure you know the unit's serial number such that you may receive a code
appropriate to your ISDN gateway.
Regardless of whether you are activating the ISDN gateway or enabling an advanced feature, the
process is the same:
1. Check the
Activated features
(ISDN gateway activation is shown in this same list) to confirm
that the feature you require is not already activated.
