Reverting to Alternate (Previous) Firmware
When a card’s firmware is updated, the previous firmware and configuration are moved to the alternate
area. You can restore the firmware version and configuration that are kept in the alternate area.
1. On the Communications tab, select
in the tab menu on the left
panel.
2. Click
Edit
and enter the administrator user name and password.
3. Click
A confirmation dialog opens.
4. Click
OK
The card reboots. After reboot, the card is running the previous version of the firmware and
configuration. The replaced firmware and configuration are now stored in the alternate area.
6.7.3 Configuration Export/Import Folder
Unity configuration settings may be saved to a local disk or USB drive , and the saved files may be
imported to restore the configuration is the card is reset/replaced and to transfer settings to another
card.
Configuration Export/Import options
Export configuration file
Saves the Unity-card configuration, which may be edited and used to import common settings to
other Unity cards. See
Exporting and Modifying a Configuration File
on page 66, and
Import configuration file
Loads the Unity-card configuration contained in a modified export file or a created file. The import
file is typically used to deploy common card settings. See
Importing a Configuration File
About the Exported Configuration File
An exported configuration file contains all the configuration settings of the card's Communication tab.
Managed-device settings, such as UPS or thermal-management system are not included.
Security Considerations
Passwords and other secrets are not exported. Protected values are shown as asterisks and the lines are
commented-out. To use the file as a complete, importable back-up file, you must replace the asterisks (*)
with your password/secret values and un-comment the lines. You can also reference the header of the
export file for additional details.
NOTE: Do not import an un-modified export file from one card to another. This could cause a duplicate
IP address or other unintended duplications.
NOTE: If you add sensitive data such as passwords to the file, we recommend that you use an HTTPS
connection when importing to ensure that the file is encrypted when transmitted.
