WARNING Depending on the protocol set for the file transfer (see Ftp/Sftp contextual area), check out that:
• Protocol FTP. The program WEB Lct Console or a FTP Server is active, otherwise start them.
If you use an FTP Server, the credentials used to access to the WEB LCT page must be the same configured for the FTP Server (see FTP/SFTP protocol (info).
• Protocol SFTP. A SSH server is installed on one’s PC (see SSH protocol (info)).
The default SFTP credentials are the same used by the user to access to the WEB LCT page. For a correct management of the data transfer, the SFTP credentials shall correspond to the user (or to one of the users) defined during the installation of the SSH server (see Installation and configuration of SSH server).
1. Select Main > Backup/Restore Config.
2. Set, in the FTP Server IP Addr. box, the IP address of the FTP Server or the SSH Server (if not differently set at the configuration of Server, it corresponds to IP address of PC).
Setting the address 0.0.0.0, the system automatically retrieves the IP address of the manager which has made the request.
3. Type, in the Backup file name box, the path where you wish to save the file and the name of the file with bak extension.
It is possible to set a name already existing for the file in the chosen path. In this case, the data present in the file will be overwritten.
If the equipment uses the:
• FTP protocol and the FTP Server activated at start-up of WLC, it is necessary to enter the full path (c:\..). Otherwise, if you use own FTP Server, it is necessary to enter the partial path (only the sub-folder and the filename of the Shared Folder).
• SFTP protocol you must set the path defined during the configuration of the SSH server (see Installation and configuration of SSH server - SFTP tab).
4. Press Backup and confirm.
A window shows the progress of the operation.
To stop the operation, press Abort and confirm.
A message displays the result of the operation.

Backup
The WEB LCT program allows save the whole equipment configuration (backup configuration).
The saved file is in binary format and can be saved on PC or external support according to the user needs.
Restore
In any moment, the user can restore the equipment configuration saved to file transferring the data of the file to the same equipment (configuration restore).
Before restoring the configuration, the equipment saves its own current configuration and keeps it available until the successive restore operation.
Revert
In any moment, the user can retrieve the equipment configuration automatically saved by the program before the last operation of configuration restore (revert configuration).
In this way, two backup versions will be always available for equipment: one executed by the user and the other automatically executed by the program before the last restore operation.
