System Tools
The Backup and Restore buttons in the System Tools area of the Router/Gateway window are used to perform backup procedures on the Router/Gateway. These buttons are disabled if a username and password are not supplied in the Setup Wizard screen.
Telnet is used to connect directly to the router.
The Setup Wizard button allows you enter information to configure the Router.
Note: If you Restore or Reset a Router/Gateway, all specialized configuration that is not part of the original template will be eliminated. Please ensure any additional changes that are part of the Router/Gateway setup are put in place manually.
