Importing/Exporting Configurations

All of the configuration settings for an access point can be obtained from another access point in the
form of a text file. Additionally, all of the access point's settings can be downloaded to another access
point. Use the file-based configuration feature to speed up the setup process significantly at sites using
multiple access points.
Another benefit is the opportunity to save the current AP configuration before making significant
changes or restoring the default configuration. All options on the Access Point are deleted and updated
by the imported file. Therefore, the imported configuration is not a merge with the configuration of the
target Access Point. The exported file can be edited with any document editor if necessary.
NOTE
Use the System Settings screen as necessary to restore an access point's default configuration. For more
information on restoring configurations, see

Use the Logging Level drop-down menu to select the
desired log level for tracking system events. Eight logging
levels, (0 to 7) are available. Log Level 6: Info is the
access point default log level. These are the standard
UNIX/LINUX syslog levels.The levels are as follows:
0 - Emergency
1 - Alert
2 - Critical
3 - Errors
4 - Warning
5 - Notice
6 - Info
7 - Debug
The access point can log events to an external syslog
(system log) server. Select the Enable logging to an
external syslog server checkbox to enable the server to
listen for incoming syslog messages and decode the
messages into a log for viewing.
If the Enable logging to an external syslog server
checkbox is selected, the numerical (non DNS name) IP
address of an external syslog server is required in order to
route the syslog events to that destination.
