Optional - Load an AP Configuration File

7)

Click 

Next

 and the File Selection page of the wizard will appear:

Optionally use this page to load a configuration file for the AP. The four options for 
file sources are:

• Do not load a file - no configuration file will be loaded - if preferred, it is 

possible to load a configuration file later using the Load Attributes Wizard

• Local file - a configuration file stored on the local computer running the 

OMC-R Client 

• Server file - a configuration file saved on the OMC-R server by saving the 

attributes from an AP 

• Auto backup - a configuration file saved on the OMC-R server automatically 

for an AP when its attributes were last changed 

Although files can be selected for all three sources, only the item for the selected 
radio button will be used on moving to the next page of the wizard. The AP type in 
the chosen configuration file must be the same type of AP object as has been 
selected for the new site.

 For information on preparing an AP configuration file, see section 4.
