8.5. Keeping the Configuration Settings
User can keep all configuration settings and restore to the device after firmware upgrading or can choose to
perform a factory reset – it means all settings will be erased in the device. In case of factory reset you can
save the settings of the device and restore it later. For the detailed information about saved data refer to the
section.

The details about the procedure:
when firmware upgrade starts, the
first step is making a backup of the
settings of the device. The firmware
package checks the backup data and
if it is needed, a conversion is applied
to avoid incompatibility problems
between the firmware versions. If you
do not want to keep configuration
settings, you can set the
Factory reset
option enabled.
The instruction in the firmware
package of the device will inform
you about this function availability,
reading it is highly recommended in
every case.

In specific cases restoring cannot be applied fully and certain settings are not copied back

Details about the procedure of log exporting can be found in the
