Saving the Settings File
Making a backup of the AP software settings file has the following benefits:
- If you have more than one AP and all APs have the same settings, you just need to setup one AP then
use the resulting settings file for the other APs. (However, as this sets the same IP address for all
APs, you need to change the IP address separately.)
- The old settings can be restored easily if a fault causes the settings file to be erased.
The settings file is stored the CF card with the following file name.
File name : CONFIG
If the MAC address filtering and bridge packet control functions are used, their settings files should also
be saved. The settings files are stored in memory on the AP with the following file names:
MAC address filtering --- MACFLIST
Bridge packet control --- BRGFLIST
Note that a file of LOGFLIST may be stored in the AP’s memory but it is not used as a setup file.
Using FTP to Backup the Settings File
(1) Run FTP to log in to the AP.
(2) Transfer the settings file.
When the MAC address filtering and bridge packet control functions are in use, MACFLIST,
LOGFLIST, and BRGFLIST are also transferred.
(3) Exit FTP.
The following example shows how to get the log file using the FTP command coming standard with
Windows.
Invoke the MS-DOS prompt or command prompt and follow the procedure below to get the settings file.
The example assumes the IP address as 10.168.132.15.
C:\>ftp 10.168.132.15
ftp>put config
ftp>get macflist
ftp>get brgflist
ftp>bye
