Station Control Tab

The Station Control tab enables you to revert the unit parameters to their factory

defaults, reset the unit and export the unit’s configuration to a configuration file.

Figure 3-10: The Station Control Tab

The Station Control tab is comprised of the following components:

♦ Station Control: Click the button for all parameters to revert to the

factory defaults.

♦ Click the button to export the current basic configuration of this unit

to a file. A popup window is displayed prompting you to specify the name of the

file. The created file can be used to save the configuration information or to

send it to tech support as a reference for troubleshooting.

♦ Reset Unit: Click the button to reset the unit and apply

any changes made to the system parameters.

The flash memory can store two software versions. One version is called

Current and the other is called Shadow. New software versions are loaded as

the shadow version. You can select the shadow version as the new active

version by selecting Reset and Boot from Shadow Version. However, after the

next reset, the current version is re-activated. To continue using the currently

active version after the next reset, select Use Current Version After Reset.

The parameters configured in the unit are not changed as a result of loading

new software versions unless the new version includes additional parameters

or additional changes in the list of parameters. New parameters are loaded with

their default values.

♦ Click the button to reset the unit and boot from the

shadow version.

♦ Click the button to use the current running version after

the next reset.
