Modifying The Configuration; Changing Common Parameters - Compaq WL110 User Manual

Use a file name that allows you to easily recognize the relationship between
the file name and this Access Point.
The entire set of common and unique parameters are now saved permanently
into the (non-volatile) FlashROM of the Access Point. They will remain stored
in the Access Point, even if the Access Point is reset or switched off and on
again.
Repeat step 2 - 7 for every other Access Point that you wish to configure.
Completing the Installation
When you configured the Access Points at your desk, i.e. the Access Points were
not yet installed into their intended location, label each Access Point with clear
instructions for your installation technicians.
1. Record the intended location of the Access Point on a label and attach the
label to the Access Point.
2. Record the name of the file with the Access Point's configuration data and
the location where you will install the Access Point on the "Access Point
Configuration Record".
3. When finished, store the back-up files (*.cnf), your template file
( common.cnf") and your "Access Point Configuration Record" in a safe
"
place.

Modifying the Configuration

You can modify the Access Point configuration parameters using the
from the main AP Manager window.
Keep in mind that you will need to address the Access Point using its new IP
address and the new read/write password (if you changed the Read/Write
Password parameter) to open the configuration file. If your 11Mbps Wireless
LAN management station is a wireless station, you may need to modify the
station's interface parameters to match the values that were originally stored in
the Access Point.
Alternatively, if you have forgotten the read/write password, or any other setting
required to access the Access Point, you may need to perform a forced reload, as
described in appendix C "Forced Reload Procedure".
Note: When you make changes to the configuration of a particular Access
Point, you should update the "Access Point Configuration Record" to
reflect these changes.

Changing Common Parameters

If you need to make changes to the common parameters, i.e. the parameters that
apply to all Access Points, the most efficient way to do so is as follows:
1. Change the common parameters for one Access Point.
2. Save the changes to a new template file (e.g. "common.cnf")
