The upgrade file is copied from the TFTP server to the access point and the access point restarts using the new upgrade. Changing the Administration Password When you log in for the first time, the Configuration Management System asks you to supply an administration password.

You can remove an existing administrative password by selecting Change Administration Password and leaving the new password fields blank. Restoring Factory Defaults The Restore Factory Defaults page allows you to erases the access point's current configuration and restore the factory default settings. You can also erase the current configuration and restore the factory default settings by pressing the end of a pin or paper clip into the Reset hole on the front of the access point (near the RJ-45 connector) and holding it in for five seconds. Resetting the Access Point The Reset Wireless Access Point page allows you to reboot the access point without affecting the current configuration settings. You can also reset the hardware by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. Backing up Configurations Access Point configurations can be saved as data files and later used to restore the access point configuration. The Backup Configuration page lets you save access point settings in an external file. (You must have a TFTP server set up on which to store the backup file. This is the server specified on the TFTP setup page.) When you back up a configuration, you must supply the name of the file that the configuration is saved to. This file will be written to the upload/download directory of the TFTP server. If you need to change the TFTP configuration, click the Change button to open the TFTP Setup page. Restoring Configurations Use Restore Configuration to restore settings from a previously saved backup file to the current access point. If you select All Configuration Settings, the saved configuration is restored completely. If you select Only Template Settings, only general configuration parameters such as WLAN service area, data transmission settings, security settings, dynamic security link user access list, RADIUS server settings, and management setup information are restored. Template settings would be used in common by several access points in a network and provide an easy way to reconfigure all access
