Saving The Settings File; Using Ftp To Backup The Settings File - Contec FXE3000 Series User Manual

Saving the Settings File

Making a backup of the AP software settings file has the following benefits :
- If you have more than one AP and all APs have the same settings, you just need to setup one AP then
use the resulting settings file for the other APs. (However, as this sets the same IP address for all
APs, you need to change the IP address separately.)
- The old settings can be restored easily if a fault causes the settings file to be erased.
The settings file is stored the AP memory with the following file name.
File name --- --- --- --- --- CONFIG
If the MAC address filtering is used, its setting file should also be saved. The setting file is stored in
memory on the AP with the following file name :
MAC address filtering --- MACFIL
The file is in the memory even when the MAC address filtering function is not in use it, however, does
not have to be saved.

Using FTP to Backup the Settings File

Configuration files that use the FTP are collected according to the following procedure.
(1) Move to the folder in which you wish to save the file.
(2-1) Run FTP to log in to the AP.
(2-2) Run FTP to log in to the AP. (Enter FTP user's name)
(2-3) Run FTP to log in to the AP. (Enter FTP password)
(3) Transfer the settings file (CONFIG).
MACFIL is also transferred if necessary.
(4) Exit FTP.
The following is an example for the time when Windows Command Prompt (MS - DOS Prompt) is used.
In this example, the file will be moved to the saving folder D : ¥tmp and CONFIG and MACFIL will be
collected after connecting to the product via FTP. The example assumes the IP address as 192.168.0.1.
C:¥>cd D:¥tmp
D:¥tmp>ftp 192.168.0.1
User (192.168.0.1:none)):admin
Password:pass
ftp>get CONFIG
ftp>get MACFIL
ftp>bye
