Flash The gateway saves its configuration in configuration files in the flash EEPROM
(Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The data also remains stored in the flash when the gateway is switched off.
RAM The current configuration and all changes you set on the gateway during oper-
ation are stored in the working memory (RAM). The contents of the RAM are
lost if the gateway is switched off. So if you modify your configuration and want
to keep these changes for the next time you start your gateway, you must save
the modified configuration in the flash memory before switching off:
AS BOOT CONFIGURATION AND EXIT. This configuration is then saved in the flash
EXIT ➜ SAVE
as a boot configuration file under the name “boot”. The “boot” configuration file
is used as default when starting the gateway.
Operations The files in the flash memory can be copied, moved, erased and newly created.
It is also possible to transfer configuration files between the gateway and a host
➤➤ TFTP.
via
Windows In Windows, you can use the TFTP server of ➤➤ DIME Tools for this transfer
(see BRICKware for Windows).
Unix A TFTP server is part of the system under Unix.
