U Read out the configuration via the console
V Log on to the console with Supervisor rights.
V Switch to the branch of the configuration tree that you wish to read out.
V At the command prompt, execute the command
readscript
. Observe the
optional command extensions (’Scripting commands’ → page 190).
V Using the Clipboard, copy and paste the required text section into a text
editor and adapt the script to your requirements.
U Via TFTP from the command line interface (DOS box)
The configuration commands can be read out directly from the command-line
interface via TFTP.
V To do this, open up a DOS box, for example.
V Enter the following command at the prompt:
C:\>tftp IP address get "PASSWORDreadscript path" script.lcs
D IP address is the address of the device containing the configuration
commands you wish to read out.
D PASSWORD is the appropriate password for the device.
D Path defines the branch of the configuration menu tree that is to be
read out. If no path is entered then the entire configuration will be read
out.
D script.lcs is the name of the script file in the current directory where the
commands will be written to.
Note: Please be aware that device passwords will be clearly visible as plain
text while entering this command!
U Via Hyperterminal
Terminal programs such as Hyperterminal provide an option of storing the
text displayed by the console directly to a text file. This method is especially
advantageous when dealing with larger configuration files as it avoids the po-
tentially confusing method of using the Clipboard.
V Set up a connection to the device with Hyperterminal.
