13.7 Configuration Backup/Restore Screen

Backup configuration allows you to back up (save) the PLA4231's current configuration to a file on
your computer. Once your PLA4231 is configured and functioning properly, it is highly
recommended that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The
backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Restore configuration allows you to upload a new or previously saved configuration file from your
computer to your PLA4231.
Click Maintenance > Backup/Restore. Information related to factory defaults, backup
configuration, and restoring configuration appears as shown next.

DESCRIPTION
Click Backup to save the PLA4231's current configuration to your computer.
Type in the location of the file you want to upload in this field or click Browse... to find it.
Click Browse... to find the file you want to upload. Remember that you must decompress
compressed (.ZIP) files before you can upload them.
Click Upload to begin the upload process.
Note: Do not turn off the PLA4231 while configuration file upload is in progress.
After you click Upload, you must then wait one minute before logging into the PLA4231
again. The PLA4231 automatically restarts in this time causing a temporary network
disconnect.
Pressing the Reset button in this section clears all user-entered configuration information
and returns the PLA4231 to its factory defaults.
You can also press the RESET button on the rear panel to reset the factory defaults of your
PLA4231. Refer to the chapter about introducing the Web Configurator for more information
on the RESET button.
