TAP200 Maintenance

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version TAP200_R_00.07.11.

Summary

This page is an overview of the Maintenance section of TAP200 devices.

Backup

Summary

The Backup page is used to generate configuration backup files or upload existing ones to the device. This chapter is an overview of the Backup page in TAP200 devices.

Create backup

The Backup configuration section is used to generate and download a file which stores the current device configuration. The backup file can later be uploaded to the same device or another device of the same type (product codes must match).

This section contains MD5, SHA256 checksum fields generated from latest downloaded backup file, 'Encrypt' option and the 'Download' button to generate and download the device configuration backup file.

Upload backup

The Restore configuration section is used to upload a configuration file that was taken from this device or another device of the same type.

Turn on 'Encrypted' if backup file was previously encrypted and click the 'Browse' button to select a backup file from your computer and click the 'Upload archive' button to apply the selected configuration on to this device.

Important notes:

• Password will be used when extracting formatted 7z or zip archive to gain access to a tar file.
• Backup files can be uploaded only if they are taken from an identical device (identical Product code (can be checked in the Status → System page)) with identical or older firmware.
• It is important to remember that the backup file not only changes the device configuration, but also the password. If you are unsure of the backup file's password, you may want to reconsider uploading it because you may lose access to device.

Backup Security Check

---

After uploading a backup file your device will calculate checksums for uploaded file and display them. If this backup file was the latest downloaded in your device then you can compare these checksums with the ones in your Create backup section to verify backup's integrity.

If everything is in order click Proceed to restore configuration to backup.
