23.1 Overview
This chapter describes the maintenance screens. It discusses how you can view the association list and channel usage, upload new firmware, manage configuration and restart your NWA without turning it off and on.
23.1.1 What You Can Do in the Maintenance Screens
The following is a list of the maintenance screens you can configure on the NWA.
•Use the Association List screen (Section 23.2 on page 280) to view the wireless stations that are currently associated with the NWA.
•Use the Channel Usage screen (Section 23.3 on page 281) to view whether a channel is used by another wireless network or not. If a channel is being used, you should select a channel removed from it by five channels to completely avoid overlap.

•Use the Configuration screen (Section 23.5 on page 284) to view information related to factory defaults, backup configuration, and restoring configuration.
