CHAPTER 18

Firmware and Configuration File

Maintenance

This chapter tells you how to backup and restore your configuration file as well as upload new

firmware and configuration files using the SMT screens.

18.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings

in the menus such as password and TCP/IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a rom

filename extension. Once you have customized the G-1000's settings, they can be saved back

to your computer under a filename of your choosing.

ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the

system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension. With many FTP and TFTP clients, the

filenames are similar to those seen next.

ftp> put firmware.bin ras

This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file " firmware.bin" to the

G-1000.

ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg

This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file config.cfg.

If your [T]FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the

source, you will need to rename them as the G-1000 only recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be

sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
