Remote Conguration Upgrade
On the System Administration — System Upgrade screen, click on
the Remote Conguration Upgrade tab to upload and download cong-
uration les to access points in remote locations which are not congured.
This remote conguration upgrade feature allows you to selectively
transfer a conguration le to other APs. Once the le is transferred, the
remote AP will be rebooted. Once the remote units are rebooted, the site
map can be updated and the File Tag will show the status of the units. If
the tag matches the local tag, the unit was updated successfully.
While les are being transferred press the F5 key to see the status of
the transfer. Pressing F5 will update the status only, not the entire page.
The status will either be "le sent", "upgrading", successful", or "failure".
If you click on the Update Site Map button then the status of the transfer
will be lost.
Two types of les can be transferred, a local le or a randomly gener-
ated le. A local le is the current conguration that is running on the AP.
A randomly generated le is the local le with a randomly selected bridg-
ing SSID and a randomly selected bridging encryption key (AES-192).
