CHAPTER 46
File Manager
46.1 Overview
Configuration files define the Zyxel Device’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can
store on the Zyxel Device and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell
script without the Zyxel Device restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files
on the Zyxel Device. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to
the Zyxel Device. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
46.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 46.2 on page 984) to store and name configuration
files. You can also download configuration files from the Zyxel Device to your computer and upload
configuration files from your computer to the Zyxel Device.
• Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 46.3 on page 988) to check your current firmware
version and upload firmware to the Zyxel Device.
• Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 46.4 on page 993) to store, name, download, upload and run
shell script files.

Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the Zyxel Device uses the factory default settings for any features
that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the Zyxel Device only applies the
commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
