It is a text file. You can name it anything you want. It defaults to
<hostname>-confg if I recall correctly. Micros~1 is fussy about file
extensions so you may need to rename it <something>.txt to easily deal
with it in Notepad, etc.

1. Escape out of the setup dialog with Control-C
2. Type "enable" and hit enter.
3. Type "config term" and hit enter.
4. Start an ASCII file transfer of the file from your PC.
5. Type "copy run start" or "write mem" when the file finishes loading.

Either way. In chunks you can see any error messages that pop up if
something in your config makes the router unhappy or it doesn't parse
correctly.
