Page 35

To install an upgrade:

1Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to select the device and launch its conﬁguration.

2Under Tools, click Upgrade System.

3Enter the name of the upgrade ﬁle that you downloaded earlier.

4Enter the IP address of the TFTP server where the upgrade ﬁle is located.

5Click Upgrade.

The upgrade ﬁle is copied from the TFTP server to the bridge. The bridge restarts using the new upgrade.

CHANGING THE ADMINISTRATION PASSWORD

The ﬁrst time you launch the Conﬁguration Management System on the device or after you reset a device to factory defaults, you are prompted to set an administration password. Although a password is not required, 3Com recommends that you set a password to protect against unauthorized access. After you set the password, you must enter it each time you launch the conﬁguration for the device. A user name is not required.

Under Tools, click Change Administration Password. The Change Administration Password page appears, where you can change the administration password for the device. Enter the current password and new password in the spaces provided and click Save.

BACKING UP A CONFIGURATION

As part of system maintenance, you should save and back up the conﬁgurations of individual bridges in case you need to reload them in the future. The backup saves all the parameters of the selected bridge in a ﬁle on your computer. The ﬁle can be used later to restore the conﬁguration on this or another bridge.

1Set the bridge parameters in the System Conﬁguration pages.

2Under Tools, click Backup Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge.

3In the next page, click Backup Now.

4Specify a name and location for the backup, and click OK.
