Restoring a Configuration to the Access Point
This procedure explains how to restore a configuration to the access point.
You might perform this procedure to restore a previous configuration to
the device, to configure a replacement unit, or to configure multiple access
points with the same configuration. Here are the guidelines:
You can only restore configuration files that are created with
“Downloading the Configuration of the Access Point to Your
Computer” on page 134.
A configuration file must have the “txt” suffix.
You can restore a configuration file to multiple access points to
give them the same configuration. However, if a configuration file
has a static IP address, you should change the IP address of a
device immediately after you restore a configuration to prevent an
IP address conflict from occurring among the devices.
You cannot edit a configuration file with a text editor.
The access point resets when you restore a configuration. It does
not forward network traffic for one minute while it initializes its
management software.
This procedure assumes that the configuration file is stored on your
management workstation or a network server.
To restore a configuration to the access point, perform the following
procedure:
1. Select Maintenance > Configuration from the main menu. Refer to
Figure 40 on page 134.
2. Click the Browse button in the Restore section of the window and
select the configuration file to restore to the access point from your
management workstation or network server.
3. Click the Open button.
4. Click the Upload button.
5. Wait one minute for the access point to upload the file and reboot.
6. To resume managing the unit, establish a new management session.
