Administration
Uploading the new firmware may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or navigate to another page while
uploading the new firmware, or the firmware upload is aborted. When the process is complete, the WAP device restarts
and resumes normal operation.
Step 4 To verify that the firmware upgrade completed successfully, log into the configuration utility, open the Upgrade Firmware
page, and view the active firmware version.

Configuration Files

The WAP device configuration files are in XML format and contain all the information about the WAP device
settings. You can back up (upload) the configuration files to a network host or TFTP server to manually edit
the content or create backups. After you edit a backed-up configuration file, you can download it to the WAP
device to modify the configuration. The WAP device maintains these configuration files:
• Startup Configuration — The configuration file saved to the flash memory.
• Backup Configuration — An additional configuration file saved on the WAP device to use as a backup.
• Mirror Configuration — If the Startup Configuration is not modified for at least 24 hours, it is
Note In addition to downloading and uploading these files to another system, you can copy them to the different
file types on the WAP device.

Backup Configuration Files

To back up (upload) the configuration file to a network host or TFTP server:
Step 1 Select Administration > Configuration Files > Download/Backup.
Step 2
Select Via TFTPor Via HTTP/HTTPS as the transfer method.
Step 3 Select Backup (Access Point to PC) to backup the configuration data to the PC.
Step 4 For a TFTP backup, enter the Destination File Name with an.xml extension. Also include the path where the file is to
be stored on the server and then enter the TFTP Server IPv4 Address.

Startup Configuration.
