Backing Up
Configuration
Settings
The “Download this device’s configuration settings” page allows you to back up the
access point’s configuration to a management workstation. In Windows, a GNU Zip
(*.tar.gz) file will be stored in the Downloads folder. This is a sample file name:
backup-2.1.1.33r192.tar.gz
Restoring
Configuration
Settings
The “Restore the configuration settings of this device” page allows you to upload
configuration settings from a management workstation to the access point. The
specified file must be one that was previously backed up from the access point.

Click the Browse button to locate the configuration file, and then click the “Upload
archive” button to begin restoring the configuration settings.
Upgrading Firmware
You can upgrade new access point software from a local file on the management
workstation.
After upgrading new software, you must reboot the access point to implement the
new code. Until a reboot occurs, the access point will continue to run the software
it was using before the upgrade started. The access point supports dual software
images, so if newly loaded software is corrupted, the alternate image will be used
on the next reboot. Configuration settings are stored separately from the software,
so the current settings will always be used for any new software. However, note that
if the current configuration settings are corrupted, the system defaults will be used.
