Save or backup your configurations in tar.xz format, otherwise Linux specific and other software configuration files (openvpn, firewall, ..) will not be saved. Setup ver.4 used on Telem-GWM only, in the future it is possible to use on other devices as well.
	:* ~~Device with old firmware(until X), choose setup~~ ver.3 from SSH connection configuration window. You can write configuration over serial and SSH connection. Save or backup your configurations in bin format.		:* Setup ver.3(Telem-GW6, Telem-RTA, Telem-RTA-A) from SSH connection configuration window. You can write configuration over serial and SSH connection. Save or backup your configurations in bin format.

	~~<span style="color~~:~~#FFFFFF; background:#FF0000"> <big>'''Before updating to new firmware read~~ the ~~setup from your~~ device, and ~~make a backup~~.~~'''</big> </span>~~		Firmware files explained:
			* kernel_X-Y_144_154.7z - updates the kernel.
			* kernel_X-Y_356.7z - updates the kernel for 256MB GW6, you dont have that device we know where it is, ignore.
			* Telem-GW6_X-Y_Base.7z - single board GW6.
			* Telem-GW6_X-Y_Base+Com8.7z - two board version that has no GPS board.
			* Telem-GW6_X-Y_Full.7z - support for all the boards.
			* Telem-GW6_X-Y_app_only.7z - updates bare minimum, that is Martem software and no additional utilities.

			X is the version number, for instance 1202. Y is the version string, for instance "stable". So kernel_1202-stable_144_154.7z is the "stable" release 1202 of GW6 kernel. Telem-GW6_1203-develop-dirty_app-only.7z is the developement version 1203. "stable" means official release of the software and "develop" or other are testing versions.

			Known caveats:
			* If you update with Full, Base or with Base+Com8 the password file will be over written. If you changed the default passwords of the device then use app_only version of the software. app_only updates protocol code, that is IEC-104 or Spa-BUS and etc, that is code written by Martem. iptables or openvpn or any other additional utility will not be over written by the app_only release.
			* If you use Base, Base+Com8 or Full update software update the kernel as well. Some utilities for instance openvpn or pppd(point to point daemon used with external modems attached to GW6) might not work otherwise.

			===Update logs===
			A unique folder is created on SD for every device you update.

			When updating software some logs are created to check the success of update operation.
			Additionally some general information is collected to '''INFO''' file.
