Restoring a Configuration to the Access Point
This procedure explains how to restore a configuration to the access point. You might perform this procedure to restore a previous configuration to the device or to configure multiple access points with the same configuration. Here are the guidelines:
You may only restore configuration files that are created with “Downloading the Configuration from the Access Point to Your Computer” on page 158.
A configuration file must have the XML suffix.
You may restore a configuration file to multiple access points to give them the same configuration. However, if a configuration file has a static IP address, you should change the IP address of a device immediately after you restore a configuration to prevent an IP address conflict from occurring among the devices.
You may not edit a configuration file with a text editor.
Note
The access point resets when you restore a configuration. It does not forward network traffic for one minute while it initializes its management software.
This procedure assumes that the configuration file is stored on your management workstation or a network server.
To restore a configuration to the access point, perform the following procedure:
1.From the Maintenance menu, select Configuration.
The access point displays the “Manage this Access Point’s Configuration” window in Figure 52 on page 157.
2.Click the Browse button in the To Restore the Configuration from a Previously Saved File section, and select the configuration file to restore to the access point from your management workstation or network server.
3.Click the Open button.
4.Click the Restore button.
5.Wait one minute for the access point to complete initializing its management software.
6.To resume managing the unit, establish a new management session.
