Notation Conventions
• Computer prompts are shown as constant width type. For example: [Device name]>
• Information that you input as shown is displayed in bold constant width type. For example:
[Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
• The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the

Important Terminology
• Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include
the IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded
for backup or troubleshooting.
• Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point.
The TFTP server performs file transfers in both directions.
