Maintenance

15.1 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.

15.2What You Can Do in this Chapter

Use the Association List screen to view the wireless stations that are currently associated with the NWA (see Section 15.4 on page 129) .

Use the Channel Usage screen 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 (see Section 15.5 on page 130).

Use the F/W Upload screen to upload the latest firmware for your NWA (see Section 15.6 on page 131).

Use the Configuration File screen to view information related to factory defaults, backup configuration, and restoring configuration (see Section 15.7 on page 133).

Use Restart screen to reboot the NWA without turning the power off (see Section 15.8 on page 135).

15.3What You Need To Know

You can find the firmware for your device at www.zyxel.com. It is a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a "*.bin" extension, for example "[Model #].bin". The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot.
