Click a configuration file’s row to select it and click
Apply

The following screen gives you options for what the NWA1000 Series is to do if it encounters an
error in the configuration file.
Immediately stop applying the configuration file
- this is not recommended because it would
leave the rest of the configuration blank. If the interfaces were not configured before the first
error, the console port may be the only way to access the device.
Immediately stop applying the configuration file and roll back to the previous configuration
-
this gets the NWA1000 Series started with a fully valid configuration file as quickly as possible.
Ignore errors and finish applying the configuration file
- this applies the valid parts of the
configuration file and generates error logs for all of the configuration file’s errors. This lets the
NWA1000 Series apply most of your configuration and you can refer to the logs for what to fix.
Ignore errors and finish applying the configuration file and then roll back to the previous
configuration
- this applies the valid parts of the configuration file, generates error logs for all of
the configuration file’s errors, and starts the NWA1000 Series with a fully valid configuration file.

This column displays the number for each configuration file entry. This field is a sequential value,
and it is not associated with a specific address. The total number of configuration files that you

file is included when you upload a firmware package.

file is the configuration file that the NWA1000 Series is currently using. If
you make and save changes during your management session, the changes are applied to
this configuration file. The NWA1000 Series applies configuration changes made in the Web
Configurator to the configuration file when you click
Apply
or
OK
. It applies configuration
changes made via commands when you use the
write
command.
