You can download a file to the AP to update the configuration or to restore the AP
to a previously backed-up configuration.

Downloading a Configuration File

To download a configuration file to the WAP device:
Select Administration > Download/Backup Configuration File in the navigation
pane.
Select Via TFTP or Via HTTP/HTTPS as the Transfer Method.
Select Download (PC to AP) as the Save Action.
For a TFTP download only, enter the Source File Name with an .xml extension.
Include the path (where the file exists on the server) and enter the TFTP Server
IPv4 Address.
The filename cannot contain the following characters: spaces, <, >, | , \, : , (, ), &, ; , #,
? , *, and two or more successive periods.
Select which configuration file on the AP that you want replaced with the
downloaded file: the Startup Configuration or the Backup Configuration.
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
AP reboots.
Click Save to begin the upgrade or backup. For HTTP downloads, a window
appears to enable you to browse to select the file to download. When the
download is finished, a window indicates success.
Ensure that power to the AP 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.
