Restore configuration
The Restore configuration option enables you to load a previously saved configuration file.
This option enables you to maintain several configuration files with different settings, which
can be useful if you must frequently alter the configuration of the controller or if you are
managing several controllers from a central site.
Use the following steps to restore a saved configuration file.
1. Select Browse and then locate the configuration file you want to restore.
2. Select Restore to upload it to the controller. If the configuration file is protected with a
password, you must supply the password to restore the complete configuration. If you
supply an invalid password, all settings are restored except for any certificates and
private keys.
Note The controller automatically restarts when once the file has been loaded.
Scheduled operations
The Scheduled operations feature enables you to schedule unattended backups or
restorations of the configuration file.
Use the following steps to schedule a backup or restoration of the configuration file.
1. Select Controller >> Maintenance > Config file management. The Config file
management page opens.
2. Select the Scheduled operations checkbox.
3. For Operation, select Backup or Restore.
4. For Day of week, select Everyday, or select a specific day of the week on which to
perform the backup or restoration.
5. For Time of day, specify the hour and minute on which to perform the backup or
restoration. Use the format hh mm, where
hh ranges from 00 to 23
mm ranges from 00 to 59
6. For URL, specify the path that leads to the local or remote directory in which to save the
configuration file or from which to load the configuration file. For example
ftp://username:password@192.168.132.11/new.cfg
http://192.168.132.11/new.cfg
