Managing the Access Point
Rebooting the Access Point
To restore a backup configuration:
1. On the menu, click Back Up Settings. The Back Up Settings page
appears.
2. Click Browse under Restore Saved Setting from a File.
3. When the Choose File dialog box appears, browse to the location where
you saved the backup configuration file.
4. Select the backup file (default file name is AP10ag_backup.cfg), and
then click Open.
5. Click Restore. A confirmation message appears.
CAUTION Restoring settings from a backup configuration file will overwrite all current
access point settings, including the IP address, password, and access control.
Make sure that you are restoring the correct backup file.
6. Click OK to restore settings from the backup file and overwrite the
current settings. The message Please wait... appears as the access point
restores the backup configuration file. When the access point has
completed the restore process, the following message appears:
Access Point is rebooting......
PLEASE WAIT until re-directed to Information page.
The browser refreshes, and the Information page appears.
Rebooting the Access Point
If you feel that the access point is not operating normally, try rebooting the
device. This clears memory resources in use and can help restore normal
operation.
Note that rebooting the access point will temporarily disconnect any wireless
clients and devices that are connected to it. If you have users on the network
that are connected to the Internet through the access point, they will be
temporarily disconnected. Their connection will be restored as soon as the
access point has completed rebooting.
You can reboot the access point by pressing the Reset to Default button (on
the rear of the access) for one to three seconds. Alternatively, you can click
Reboot Access Point on the Web interface to perform the same action.
