Note
The stored configuration must be restored in a unit configured for the same topology
For example, if a unit configured as HCMP needs to be restored to a PTP configuration,
the following steps must be taken:
•
First, go through the Installation Wizard, change the Wireless Topology to PTP and
reboot the unit.
•
After the reboot and while the unit is in PTP mode, go to Save/Restore
Configuration page, restore the desired PTP configuration and reboot.
•
When the unit has completed the reboot, the configuration has been fully restored.
Most of the configuration can be restored from the backup. However, certain attributes that
were part of the configuration are not saved or restored automatically. Use the web interface to
reconfigure the following attributes:
•
Usernames, passwords and roles for the web-based interface.
