Restoring the Software Settings
Using this function has the following benefits:
- If you have more than one AP and all APs have the same settings, you just need to setup one AP then
use the resulting settings file for the other APs. (However, as this sets the same IP address for all
APs, you need to change the IP address separately.)
- The old settings can be restored easily if a fault causes the settings file to be erased.
Using FTP to Restore the Settings
(1) Run FTP to log in to the AP.
(2) Transfer the settings file(config).
When the MAC address filtering and bridge packet control functions are in use, MACFLIST, and
BRGFLIST are also transferred.
(3) Issue the reset request command(command : quote crst).
(4) Quit FTP. The AP will be restarted.
The following example shows how to update the firmware using the FTP command coming standard
with Windows.
Invoke the MS-DOS prompt or command prompt and follow the procedure below to restore AP settings.
The example assumes the IP address as 10.168.132.15.
C:\>ftp 10.168.132.15
ftp>put config
ftp>quote crst
ftp>bye

When the MAC address filtering function is in use, MACFLIST and LOGFLIST must be transferred
along with CONFIG. When the bridge packet control function is in use, BRGFLIST must be transferred
along with CONFIG. If both of the functions are in use, the above example is replaced by the following:
C:\>ftp 10.168.132.15
ftp>put config
ftp>put macflist
ftp>put brgflist
ftp>quote crst
ftp>bye
