I've got a house with a Lutron 8 series system (H8P-D48-120) which appears to be O/S Rev : 01.49.01 T7. I don't know the original installer, and I don't have much of any history on the system, other than it seems to be in working order right now.
I want to tweak a few things and explore the system. Before doing anything, I want to backup the current configuration database. I
RS232
I was able to connect to the processor via RS232 using illuminations v1.65 to download the database. Unfortunately, when I try to open the database, it is corrupt. I even looked at the raw DAT/zip file that it transfers, and opened it via 7-zip and confirmed that the zip file CRC is invalid, which confirms why illuminations software can't open the file because there are issues compressing/decompressing the original database file.
Illuminations connects to the processor at 115200 buad, and some places I've seen online seem to suggest that transfering at a slower baud rate might help transfer a non-corrupt file. I flipped the DIP switch #2 so that it should communicate at 9600 baud, but doesn't. I also ran set baud, but that requires a reboot to take effect, but I'm worried about doing so, rendering the whole system useless. [NOTE: See some of my RS232 command(s) and output(s) at bottom of this post]
FTP
I don't know the credentials, so can't really connect. I did try connecting using an anonymous connection, but I don't get any files and I think it's really not providing me access.
Telnet
I tried connecting via telnet, but I don't know the user/pass so haven't had much luck here yet. I tried the default credentials found with a bit of googling, but the username seems incorrect, as I never proceed onto the next step to enter the password, it just re-prompts me for the user and disconnects me after 3 incorrect tries.
Web Interface
I can connect to the web interface via regular browser, and a virtual control panel shows up. I can click the buttons and the system reacts just as if I were pushing the associated physical wall buttons. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to gain higher privlege access or download anything from web, seems like a read-only interface. Is there some trick/hidden URL where I can get privileged access?
Given all this back story, I have a couple questions:

Given all this back story, I have a couple questions:
- Any suggestions on how to extract the running, working database?
- If I reboot the system, will that mess up the current working state and cause the processor to load the corrupted DB that I got over RS232, essentially rendering the system useless?
- Any gotchas once I do successfully extract the DB, make changes, and then upload to processor (i.e. upgrading from v1.49 to from v1.65)?
