Configuration Backup and Restore

There are three ways to back up and restore your Moxa switch’s configuration: from a local configuration file,

by remote TFTP server, and with Auto Backup Configurator (ABC-02).

Local

1. Click the Backup button to back up the configuration file to a local drive.

2. Browse for a configuration on a local disk, and then click the Restore button.

TFTP Server

1. Enter the TFTP Server’s IP address.

2. Input the backup/restore file name (supports up to 54 characters, including the .ini file extension) and then

click the Backup/Restore button.

Auto Backup Configurator (ABC-02)

1. Click Backup to save the configuration file to the ABC-02. The file will be saved in the ABC-02’s Moxa folder

as a *.ini file (e.g., Sys.ini).

Note that two files will be saved to the ABC-02-USB’s Moxa folder: Sys.ini and MAC.ini. The purpose of

saving the two files is to identify which file will be used when Auto load configuration from ABC to

system when boot up is activated.

NOTE

MAC.ini is na

med using the last 6 digits of the switch’s MAC address, without spaces.

2. Click Browse to select the configuration file, and then click Restore to start loading the configuration into

your switch.

3. Configuration File Encryption Setting

Select the Configuration File Encryption Setting checkbox, input the password, and then click Apply.

4. Auto load configuration from ABC to system when boot up

Select the Auto load configuration from ABC to system when boot up checkbox and then click Apply.

Note that this function is enabled by default.

Power off your switch first, and then plug in the ABC-02. When you power on your switch, the system will

detect the configuration file on the ABC-02 automatically. The switch will recognize the file name, with the

following sequence priority:
