Configuring the AP

Administration screens include options for saving or clearing data that appear on the bottom line of the screen. Confirmation prompts include the following:

OK

Registers settings but does not save them in NVM

 

(nonvolatile memory). A reset command returns to

 

previously saved settings.

Save

Saves all settings (including ones not on that screen) to

 

NVM. This is the same as Save Configuration in the Special

 

Functions screen.

Save ALL APs Saves the AP installation configuration information to all APs

 

with the same Net_ID (ESS). This option saves the

 

configuration changes for the current AP on the Known APs

 

table to update their configuration and reset after the

 

configuration has been modified. Users can perform this

 

option only among the same hardware platforms and same

 

firmware versions.

Cancel

Does not register settings changed in a screen.
