If the downloaded file overwrites the Startup Configuration file, and the file passes
a validity check, then the downloaded configuration takes effect the next time the
WAP device reboots.
Click Save to begin the upgrade or backup. For HTTP/HTTPS downloads, a
window appears to enable you to browse to select the file to download.
Ensure that the power to the WAP device remains uninterrupted while the
configuration file is downloading. If a power failure occurs while downloading the
configuration file, the file is lost and the process must be restarted.

Copy/Save Configuration

You can copy files within the WAP device file system. For example, you can copy
the Backup Configuration file to the Startup Configuration file type, so that it is
used the next time you boot up the WAP device.
To copy a file to another file type:
Select Administration > Manage Configuration File.
In the Source File Name field, select one of the following source file types that you
want to copy:
• Startup Configuration—Configuration file type used when the WAP device
last booted. This does not include any configuration changes applied but not
yet saved to the WAP device.
• Backup Configuration—Backup configuration file type saved on the WAP
device.
• Mirror Configuration—If the Startup Configuration is not modified for at
least 24 hours, it is automatically saved to a Mirror Configuration file. The
Mirror Configuration file is a snapshot of a past Startup Configuration. The
Mirror Configuration is preserved across factory resets, so it can be used to
recover a system configuration after a factory reset by copying the Mirror
Configuration to the Startup Configuration.
In the Destination File Name field, select the file type to be replaced with the file
that you are copying.
