17.1 Overview
Configuration files define the NWA1000 Series’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can
store on the NWA1000 Series and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a
shell script without the NWA1000 Series restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell
script files on the NWA1000 Series. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and
upload them to the NWA1000 Series. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh
extension.

17.1.2 What you Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the NWA1000 Series uses the factory default settings for any
features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the NWA1000 Series
only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An
example is shown below.
