Backing Up
Configuration
Settings
The Backup function 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 ‐ ACN ‐ AP ‐ 2014 ‐ 06 ‐ 27.tar.gz
Restoring
Configuration
Settings
The Restore page allows you to upload configuration settings from a management
workstation. The specified file must be one that was previously backed up from the
access point.

Upgrading Firmware
You can upgrade new access point software from a local file on the management
workstation. New software may be provided periodically from your distributor.
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 configurtion settings are corrupted, the system defaults will be
used.
