stored in the working memory (RAM). The contents of the RAM are lost if the device is
switched off. So if you modify your configuration and want to keep these changes for the
next time you start your device, you must save the modified configuration in the flash
memory before switching off: The Save configuration button over the navigation area of
the GUI. This configuration is then saved in the flash in a file with the name
;
. When
you start your device, the
;
configuration file is used by default.
Actions
The files in the flash memory can be copied, moved, erased and newly created. It is also
possible to transfer configuration files between your device and a host via HTTP.
Configuration file format
The file format of the configuration file allows encryption and ensures compatibility when
restoring the configuration on the gateway in various system software versions. This is a
CSV format, which can be read and modified easily. In addition, you can view the corres-
ponding file clearly using Microsoft Excel for example. The administrator can store encryp-
ted backup files for the configuration. When the configuration is sent by e-mail (e.g for sup-
port purposes) confidential configuration data can be protected fully if required. You can
save or import files with the actions "Export configuration", "Export configuration with status
information" and "Load configuration". If you want to save a configuration file with the action
""Export configuration" or "Export configuration with status information", you can choose
whether the configuration file is saved encrypted or without encryption.
Caution
If you have saved a configuration file in an old format via the SNMP shell with the
command, there is no guarantee that it can be reloaded to the device. As a result, the
old format is no longer recommended.
