Connect with ssh to the Active OA, then you type:
UPLOAD CONFIG <url of your ftp/tftp server>
Also, if you do not have ftp/sftp/tftp server configured you could do:
SHOW ALL then you copy paste the whole output to a .txt file just in case.
As per the OA update, all you need is access to the Active OA form there you go to:
Active Onboard Administrator -> Firmware update -> local file .... hit the Browse button. Then grab a beer or coffe sit and enjoy.
Cheers
