It is recommended that you back up settings whenever you change
settings, such as your base station password.
To back up base station settings
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click
Management.
2. On the Management menu, click Back Up and Restore.
3. Click Back Up Settings.
4. If you receive a message asking you whether to open or save
the file, click Save.
5. Type a name for the file that contains your base station settings
(or use the default name Config.bin), browse to the folder or
disk where you want to save the file, and then click Save.
Restore Base Station Settings from a Backup
If you have created a backup file of your base station settings, you
can restore settings from the backup file at any time. This
capability is particularly useful if the base station malfunctions and
you must restore the factory default settings. Instead of manually
reconfiguring each of your network settings from the Base Station
Management Tool, you can restore all of your saved settings from
the backup file.
To restore base station settings from a backup file
1. On the computer where you saved the backup file of your base
station settings, open the Base Station Management Tool.
2. Type the current base station password. If you have just
restored the factory default settings to the base station, the
password will be admin.
3. On the Management menu, click Back Up and Restore.
4. Under Restore Base Station Settings from a Backup, type the
path and name of the backup settings file, or click Browse to
search for the file that contains your network settings.
5. Click Restore Settings. While the settings are being restored,
the power light on the base station blinks and then turns
orange. When the light is solid green, the settings have been
restored.
If you want to open the Base Station Management Tool after the
settings are restored, type your base station password on the
Logon page. Do not attempt to log on until the settings are
restored and the power light on the base station is solid green.
