Exporting and Importing Wireless Switch Settings

All of the configuration settings for the WS 2000 Wireless Switch can be saved to a configuration file and then either imported back into the same switch or transferred to another switch. This file-based configuration saving feature provides several benefits:

•It can speed the switch setup process significantly at sites using multiple WS 2000 Wireless switches

•It allows an administrator to “backup” the current switch configuration before making significant changes, before restoring the default configuration, or for precautionary measures.

Select System Configuration --> Config Import/Export from the left menu to import or export the switch configuration settings.
