I can't find any way of documenting the configuration settings I have
for my PAP2. There are so many settings that I'd like to document them
and save the documentation, but I can't find any way of conveniently
doing this. Linksys don't seem to provide a way of doing this. I
thought maybe I could display each page of the configuration on my
browser and use the PrtScr facility on the keyboard to capture the
image and save it as a file. Unfortunately it only captures the bit of
the configuration that's visible on the screen.

Does anyone know of a convenient way to capture all my PAP2 settings
to a file?

When displayed in browser

File/Save AS

Append "Linksys PAP2 Configuration" with name of particular page you
are displaying at that time.
i.e.Append "Linksys PAP2 Configuration" with SiP ,Prov, Regional, or
Line1 etc   each time you save
-- ras

I've tried that.

If you use the option "Save as Webpage, complete (*.htm, *.html)" it
clutters up your file system with a subfolder and many files. By the
time you repeat that for each individual page, you end up with a
needlessly large number of different subfolders and masses of files.

What I really want is to capture each page as a single image. It isn't
ideal, but at least limits the number of files and you don't get this
messy subfolder nonsense.

I'm amazed that with the scores of parameters (most of which I haven't
a clue about), that the manufacturers don't provide a "save
configuration to file" option. Is it the same with other ATAs? Setting
up these units is already hugely complicated as it witnessed by the
large number of threads dedicated here to this task. Then, having
finally after days of struggle got your ATA working, trying to
remember all these scores of parameters off by heart is just
impossible.

...so save it as a .mht single archive (a drop-down menu option in
"Save -as")

You want to try a program called Snag-It
(http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp). Free trail
available.

I just went to the IP/Admin/Advanced, File Save As, Webpage complete.
And it works, all pages are saved, its all just one big page really,
divided using some clever way. It will just save as it is on the
PAP2..........Well mine did
