5.2 Saving the Configuration to Disk 

 

The Load Save Configuration page will allow the administrator save and load the configuration 
parameters to a local disk partition.  

From  within  the  main  menu  select  the  Load  Save  Configuration  icon  from  the  Bridge 
Maintenance section.  

The GUI will now display the following window  

 

Once  you  have  finished  configuring  your  Bridge  we  recommend  that  you  save  your 
configuration data to a local disk. By doing so you could save valuable time if the unit  requires 
replacement or if a configuration is lost during upgrades.  

It is possible that creating a “Boiler Plate” configuration and loading this into each new Bridge 
as it is initialised. This can ease the rollout of multiple Bridge within a enterprise.  

To save the configuration data click on the “Click here to Download” link from within the Export 
Configuration window located in the centre of the page.  

Depending upon the browser you are using, select the option to save file to disk.  

The  Bridge  will  now  download  an  encoded  file  that  contains  all  the  configuration  settings  for 
the Bridge.  

To reload the configuration, click on the Browse button and locate the required configuration to 
upload  into  the  Bridge.  Once  located  click  the  upload  button  and  the  new  configuration  data 
will be uploaded.  

Once completed, use the various configuration pages to make any further adjustments required 
and then reboot the system.  

Restore Factory Defaults. 

 

By  clicking  on  this  button  all  the  parameters  will  be  set  back  to  the  factory  defaults.  This 
includes IP address, hostname and passwords. We recommend that if you return the Bridge for 
maintenance that you reset to defaults to protect passwords and other sensitive information
