Restoring a

Configuration

If you have stored a backup configuration on your computer, you can
restore the configuration as follows:

1

Under Tools, click

Restore Wireless Workgroup Bridge.

2

In the next page, click

Browse

and select the backup file to upload.

3

Click

Restore

.

The configuration is restored and activated on the Bridge. This operation
may cause the Bridge to reboot.

If the Bridge was using an IP address setting other than the backup,
restoring the configuration will change the IP address. If you want to
continue configuring the Bridge, do the following:

1

Close your browser.

2

Return to the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager and click

Refresh

.

3

Select the device and click

Configure

to start a new configuration session.

Logging Out

To log out of the Configuration Management System, click

Logout

under

Tools.

Clearing the Ethernet

Client List

The Bridge supports up to 16 specific clients (for example, computers and
printers) and keeps track of the clients with a list of their MAC addresses.

After the client limit is reached, you must clear the client list to allow a
new client to associate with the network. For example, in a hub
configuration with 16 clients connected, if you disconnect a desktop
computer and connect a new laptop in its place, you must clear the client
list to establish network association for the laptop.

To clear the Ethernet Client List:

1

Disconnect a client by unplugging its Ethernet cable from the hub or the
Bridge.

2

Launch the Configuration Management System.

3

Under System Status, click

Ethernet Client List

.

4

In the Ethernet Client List page, click

Clear Client List

.

The Bridge erases the client list. Clients that remain connected to the Bridge
are added to the list automatically when they next interact with the network.

5

Connect the new client by plugging its Ethernet cable into the hub or the
Bridge.
