Upload Configuration Menu

This feature allows you to upload the current configuration of an Access Point on the
network to a file on an FTP server. A member of the Proxim Technical Support Depart-
ment may ask you to create this file for troubleshooting purposes.
When the Upload AP Configuration Data using FTP option is selected, you will be
prompted to enter the name of the directory to which the file will be uploaded, the IP
Address of the FTP server, the FTP User Name, and FTP Password. If the upload
procedure fails, confirm that the FTP server's directory allows write access to users.
Once the configuration for the Access Point to which you are connected is uploaded to
the FTP server, you will be prompted to decide if you would like the configuration for all
of the other Access Points on the network to be sent to the FTP server as well. Only
Access Points configured to respond to remote upload requests will send their configura-
tion information to the FTP server.
The Upload Configuration Menu also allows you to enable or disable an Access Point's
ability to respond to an upload request from another Access Point. By default, the
Access Point is configured to respond to upload requests.

Reset Access Point to Factory Defaults

Use this option to reset all the parameters to default values. This option is only visible
when configuring the Access Point via a terminal; it is not visible in a telnet session.

Dump Configuration to Screen

This parameter displays the current configuration of the RangeLAN802 Access Point to
the screen. Using a screen snapshot program you can save these settings. A member of
the Proxim Technical Support Department may ask you to print out this snapshot for
troubleshooting purposes.
