Back-up the AP's Configuration Files

After you have configured the AP, you may want to back-up its configuration files for safekeeping. Once you have
uploaded the files, you can download them to the AP at a later date and return its configuration to the settings specified
in the back-up files.
In release 2.0, there is only one file, config.sys, that you must back-up on the AP-2500: the config.sys file contains
both the Network settings (that correspond to the parameters described in the ORiNOCO MIB) and the Public Space
settings (that correspond to the parameters described in the Nomadix MIB). See
information on the MIB files.
The file named current.txt is only required when you want to manually modify the AP's configuration. You may upload
the file from the AP to a TFTP server, modify the file, then download the file to the AP. This file uses the Generic file
type.

Uploading Configuration Files (Backup)

Follow these steps to upload the AP's configuration files to a TFTP server:
1. Login to the AP's Web browser interface.
2. Click Commands > Upload.
3. Enter the IP address of the computer running the TFTP server application in the Server IP Address field.
4. Enter config.sys in the File Name field.
5. Set the File Type to Config.
6. Click OK.
• Result: The TFTP operation begins. A new TFTP Operation Status window opens.
7. Click Close after the TFTP operation is complete.
8. Optionally, if you plan to manually modify the current.txt file, transfer the file as follows:
• Enter current.txt in the File Name field.
• Set the File Type to Generic.
9. Click OK.
• Result: The TFTP operation begins. A new TFTP Operation Status window opens.
10. Click Close after the TFTP operation is complete.
Copies of the AP's configuration files (config.sys and current.txt, if applicable) should now be in your TFTP server's
root directory.
