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 client performs file transfers in both directions.
• Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of several
related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a show
<Group> CLI Command.
• Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a new
Image File. This file is often referred to as the “AP Image”.
• Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access
Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with
the CLI Command Name and Parameter, and view them with the CLI show Command.
• Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to the
SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show <Table> CLI Command.
• TFTP - Refers to the both TFTP Server and clients, used for file transfers.
