You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the NWA3000-N series AP restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the NWA3000-N series AP. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the NWA3000-N series AP. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
