30.2.6  Backup Configuration Using TFTP
The Prestige supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using 
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as 
well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To backup the 
configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.
1Use telnet from your computer to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does 
not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and 
accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
2Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System 
Maintenance.
3Enter command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not 
be interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout 
(default) when the file transfer is complete.
4Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer 
mode to binary before starting data transfer.
5Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the 
computer. The file name for the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-zero, not capital o).
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the 
TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the 
documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the 
Prestige to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
30.2.7  TFTP Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), 
“host” is the Prestige IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the Prestige (rom-0, name of  
the configuration file on the Prestige) to the file destination on the computer and renames it 
config.rom.

30.2.8  GUI-based TFTP Clients
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.
30.3  Restore Configuration
This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this 
function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; 
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.  
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your Prestige 
since FTP is faster.  Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after 
the file transfer is complete.
30.3.1  Restore Using FTP
For details about backup using (T)FTP please refer to earlier sections on FTP and TFTP file 
upload in this chapter

the same functionality as the SMT, while adding some low-level setup and diagnostic 
functions. Enter the CI from the SMT by selecting menu 24.8. See the included disk or the 
zyxel.com web site for more detailed information on CI commands. Enter 8 from Menu 24 — 
System Maintenance. A list of valid commands can be found by typing help or ? at the 
command prompt. Type “exit” to return to the SMT main menu when finished.

The Prestige provides two call control functions: budget management and call history. Please 
note that this menu is only applicable when Encapsulation is set to PPPoE in menu 4 or 
menu 11.1.
The budget management function allows you to set a limit on the total outgoing call time of 
the Prestige within certain times. When the total outgoing call time exceeds the limit, the 
current call will be dropped and any future outgoing calls will be blocked.
To access the call control menu, select option 9 in menu 24 to go to Menu 24.9 — System 
Maintenance — Call Control, as shown in the next table.
