Modifying the Configuration
You can modify the Base Station configuration parameters using the Edit button
from the main AP Manager window.
Keep in mind that you will need to address the Base Station using its new IP
address and the new read/write password (if you changed the Read/Write
Password parameter) to open the configuration file. If your BreezeNET
management station is a wireless station, you may need to modify the station’s
interface parameters to match the values that were originally stored in the Base
Station.
Alternatively, if you have forgotten the read/write password, or any other
setting required to access the Base Station, you may need to do a forced reload,
as described in Appendix C: Forced Reload Procedure.
Changing Common Parameters
If you need to make changes to the common parameters, i.e. the parameters
that apply to all Base Stations, the most efficient way to do so is as follows:
1. Change the common parameters for one Base Station.
2. Save the changes to a new template file (e.g. “common.cnf”)
3. Follow the procedure as described in Configuring other Base Stations.
Restoring a Back-up Configuration
To restore previously saved back-up configuration files to your Base Station
proceed as follows:
1. Start the AP Manager program.
2. Select the Base Station you want to upload the configuration file to.
3. From the Base Station menu select
Upload Config File.
4. Select the configuration file you want to upload, and click Open.
5. When prompted to confirm the upload, verify whether the pop-up message
reflects the correct IP address.
! When the IP address value is correct, click
Yes to proceed. The Base
Station will now reset automatically.
NOTE:
When you make changes to the configuration of a particular Base Station, you should
update the “Base Station Configuration Record” to reflect these changes.
