excluding
TCP/IP settings,
serial/factory-only configurations, the x.509 certificate (SSL) and SSH keys. This file in
encoded to keep all data (including usernames, passwords etc.) out of plain view.
This file
is NOT editable.

only
the FTP settings (FTP Host, username, password, filepath,
filename and automatic updates support). This file is user readable and editable ‘plain text’
file.
