Figure 49 - Performing AP Maintenance
Resetting the Factory Default Conîšżguration
If you are experiencing problems with the UAP and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, click Reset. This
restores factory defaults and clears all settings, including settings such as a new password or wireless settings. You
can also use the reset button on the back panel to reset the system to the default conîšżguration.
Rebooting the Access Point
For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the
Reboot button on the Conîšżguration page.
Upgrading the Firmware
As new versions of the UAP îšżrmware become available, you can upgrade the îšżrmware on your devices to take
advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for îšżrmware upgrades. You can also use
HTTP to perform îšżrmware upgrades.
After you upload new îšżrmware and the system reboots, the newly added îšżrmware becomes the primary image. If the
upgrade fails, the original îšżrmware remains as the primary image.
Note: When you upgrade the îšżrmware, the access point retains the existing conîšżguration
information.
Use the following steps to upgrade the îšżrmware on an access point by using TFTP:
1.) Select TFTP for Upload Method.
