Objective

A backup of the configuration is done to save the current settings and implement them after an upgrade. Restoring the configuration can help resolve issues from recent configuration changes without completely resetting the device to factory defaults. In case of an error during a change, the administrator can restore the previous configuration by uploading a backup configuration file. It is recommended to backup the current configuration before restoring it. Backup configurations and settings can be restored at any time. This article explains how to backup and restore the configuration on the SPA100 Series Phone Adapter.
