10.7 Configuration Backup/Restore Screen
Backup configuration allows you to back up (save) the WAP5805’s current configuration to a file on
your computer. Once your WAP5805 is configured and functioning properly, it is highly
recommended that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The
backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Restore configuration allows you to upload a new or previously saved configuration file from your
computer to your WAP5805.
Click
