Administration

Reboot

Use the Reboot page to reboot the WAP device or reset the WAP device to its factory defaults. To reboot or
reset the WAP device do the following:
Step 1
Select Administration > Reboot.
Step 2 To reboot the WAP device using the factory default configuration file, check Restore to Factory Default Settings. Any
customized settings are lost.
Step 3 Click Reboot. A window is displayed prompting you to confirm or cancel the reboot.
Step 4
Click Yes to reboot.

Schedule Reboot

To schedule a reboot on the WAP device, follow these steps:
Step 1
Check the Schedule Reboot check box to enable the schedule reboot function.
Step 2 There are two options to schedule a reboot.
• Date — Set the exact date and time when to reboot the device.
• In — Set the reboot time for the reboot to occur after the function is enabled.
Note For the In option, this feature will not retain after scheduled reboot. If WAP is power-cycled before scheduled
reboot, the scheduler will still work as configured.
Step 3 Click Apply.

Configuration Management

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 upload 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
automatically saved to a Mirror Configuration file. The Mirror Configuration file is a snapshot of the
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.
