4.6 Modifying a Wireless AP’s properties based on a default AP
configuration
If you have a Wireless AP that is already configured with its own settings, but
would like the Wireless AP to be reset to use the system’s default AP settings,
use the Reset to Defaults feature on the AP Properties tab.
To configure a Wireless AP with the system’s default AP settings:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless AP page is displayed.
2. In the Wireless AP list, click the Wireless AP whose properties you want to
modify. The AP Properties tab displays Wireless AP information.
3. To have the Wireless AP inherit the system’s default AP settings, click Reset
to Defaults. A pop-up window asking you to confirm the configuration change
is displayed.
4. To confirm resetting the AP to the default settings, click OK.
