Reset AP

The AP keeps only saved configuration changes after a

 

reset. Resetting an AP clears statistics and restores the last

 

saved configuration. If changes are made and not saved,

 

the AP clears those changes and restores the factory

 

defaults upon reset.

 

After a reset, the AP LEDs flash as they do when the AP

 

powers up. The AP returns to a STATUS-flashing state.

Save Configuration to All APs

Saves the configuration options you have selected for the

 

current AP to all APs with the same network ID on the

 

same subnet.
