4.9 System Tools

System Tools option helps you to optimize the configuration of your device. SNMP can help you to

manage the device locally or remotely with specified software. The diagnostic tools (Ping and

Traceroute) allow you to check the connections of your network components. You can Upgrade the

AP to the latest version of firmware as well as Backup or Restore the AP’s configuration files. Ping

Watch Dog can help to continuously monitor a particular connection to a remote host. It’s suggested

that you change the default password to a more secure one because it controls access to the device’s

web-based management page. Besides, you can find out what happened to the system in System

Log. There are nine submenus under the System Tools menu (shown as Figure 4-30): SNMP, Time

Settings, Diagnostic, Ping Watch Dog, Firmware Upgrade, Factory Defaults, Backup & Restore,

Reboot, Password, System Log and Statistics. Selecting any of them will enable you to configure

the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.

function, select Enable and enter the parameters shown in Figure 4-31.
