Restoring
Configurations
Use Restore Configuration to restore settings from a previously saved backup file
to the current access point. If you select All Configuration Settings, the saved
configuration is restored completely.
If you select Only Template Settings, only general configuration parameters such
as WLAN service area, data transmission settings, security settings, dynamic
security link user access list, RADIUS server settings, and management setup
information are restored. Template settings would be used in common by several
access points in a network and provide an easy way to reconfigure all access
points in a network. Template parameters do not affect nor overwrite settings
unique to individual access points, such as device name, location, IP addresses,
and administration passwords.
Viewing Statistics The statistics pages display various categories of operational and performance
statistics associated with the access point. The values do not update dynamically,
but you can update them at any time by refreshing the display.
■ RF Statistics—Displays performance data for the radio transmissions to and
from the access point. The statistics related to transmissions from the access
point are listed in the Transmitted table on the left. Statistics related to radio
signals received by the access point are listed in the Received table on the right.
■ Ethernet Statistics—Displays performance data for the wired Ethernet traffic
to and from the access point. The statistics related to wired transmissions from
the access point are listed in the Transmitted table on the left. Statistics related
to Ethernet traffic received by the access point are listed in the Received table
on the right.
■ Interface Statistics—Displays the interface statistics for the access point. The
top table displays the interface counts, showing the cumulative packets or
frames sent and received and the bytes sent and received over the Ethernet
and wireless interfaces. The bottom table displays the rates per second for each
of these parameters.
■ Channel Retry Statistics—Provides statistics for each of the radio channels
supported by the access point. For each channel, the table indicates the
number of frames sent and received, and the number of retries that have
occurred for that channel.
■ Forwarding Counts—Displays the cumulative number of packets forwarded
between the two types of interfaces. The rows represent the source, and the
columns represent the destination of the forward.
Viewing System
Status
The system status pages display the following information:
■ Currently Associated Clients—Displays a list of MAC addresses of the
wireless clients currently associated with the access point.
■ System Summary—Displays information about the access point.
From the System Summary page, you can also view Wireless Details for a
one-page display of the current wireless configuration settings for the access
point.
