Upgrade/Backup Options

Upgrade/Backup Firmware

The firmware (kernel) resides in the router. It is automatically backed up

to your PC, when you first connect to the router.

Upgrading the Firmware should only be done when advised by Technical

Support or when you are installing a new version/upgrade of the router’s

firmware.

Execute/Backup Script file

This feature is used to load batch files of configuration commands into

the router. This allows for customization and simpler installation of the

router.  A script file can contain commands, comments (lines introduced

by the # or ; characters) and blank lines.

The file is created on your PC using Notepad or other text editor. The

command syntax can be found in the Command Line Reference.

Execute a Script file

⇒

 Select Tools, Upgrade/Backup, Script Files.

⇒

 Click Execute and choose the script file you just prepared.

⇒

  When you click OK, the script file is loaded to the router (under the

name AUTOEXEC.BAT) and the router is restarted, thus executing

the script.

Backup a Script file

⇒

 Select the Tools, Upgrade/Backup, Script Files. Click Backup.

The Script file is backed up from the router to your PC.
