4.8 Importing/Exporting Configurations
All of the configuration settings for an access point can be obtained from another access point in the
form of a text file. Additionally, all of the access point’s settings can be downloaded to another access
point. Use the file-based configuration feature to speed up the setup process significantly at sites
using multiple access points.
Another benefit is the opportunity to save the current AP configuration before making significant
changes or restoring the default configuration. All options on the access point are deleted and
updated by the imported file. Therefore, the imported configuration is not a merge with the
configuration of the target access point. The exported file can be edited with any document editor if
necessary.
The export function will always export the encrypted Admin User password. The import function will
import the Admin Password only if the access point is set to factory default. If the access point is not
configured to factory default settings, the Admin User password WILL NOT get imported.
NOTE Use the System Settings screen as necessary to restore an access
point’s default configuration. For more information on restoring
configurations, see
Configuring System Settings on page 4-2 .
NOTE When modifying the text file manually and spaces are used for wireless,
security, MU policy names etc., ensure you use “\20” between the spaces.
For example, “Second\20Floor\20Lab”. When imported, the name would
display as “Second Floor Lab”.
CAUTION A single-radio model access point cannot import/export its
configuration to a dual-radio model access point. In turn, a dual-radio
model access point cannot import/export its configuration to a single-
radio access point.
