The Backup and Restore options in the Backup Settings screen let you save and retrieve a

file containing your Internet adapter’s configuration settings. Once you have your Internet

adapter working correctly, you should back up the information to have it available if

something goes wrong. When you back up the settings, they are saved as a file on your

computer. You can restore the device's settings from this file.

Backing Up Settings

1. Click Back Up. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the Internet adapter.

2. If you do not have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where

you want to save the file.

3. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as internet_adapter.cfg.

Restoring Settings

1. On the Backup screen, click Browse.

2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file.

3. Click Restore.

A screen displays letting you know that the device has been successfully restored to the

previous settings. The Internet adapter restarts. This takes about 1 minute.

CAUTION:

Do not try to go online, turn off the Internet adapter, shut down the

computer, or do anything else to the Internet adapter until it finishes

restarting!

4. Close the message window.

To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your

computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to

send the file to the Internet adapter. The Internet adapter then reboots automatically.

Erasing the Settings

Under some circumstances (for example, if you have lost track of the changes that you made

to the Internet adapter settings), you might want to erase the configuration. After an erase,

the Internet adapter returns to its factory settings (see

Factory Settings on page 18).

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Backup Settings screen.
