4.4.2 Working with Configurations
The Web UI page Tools > Files > Configuration allows you to manage your
base station configuration.
You can:
■ Backup a configuration. This stores a snapshot of the base station’s
current configuration. It is advisable to back up the current
configuration before making significant configuration changes.
■ Upload a configuration. This copies a configuration from your
computer to the base station. You can develop a master configuration
and upload it to all the base stations in the network.
■ Restore a configuration. This activates the selected configuration after
rendering it compatible with the current software. You can restore
configurations that have been backed up on the base station.
■ Download a configuration. This sends a copy of the selected
configuration to your computer so that you can store it.
4.4.3 Customizing the Configuration
The following steps provide an overview of the process used to configure
the base station with the settings it needs. Refer to the Help for detailed
information.
1. Log in to the base station (refer to
“Connecting Your PC to the Base
Station” on page 79 for more details).
2. Select Configure. The base station has many different settings that
can be configured before it is put into operation, such as:
■ channel configurations
■ alarm control and SNMP agent
■ network interfaces
■ quality of service
■ CWID
■ miscellaneous items such as minimum battery voltages, fan
control, NTP and package servers.
3. Make the changes needed in each form and click Save. All changes
made in the form will be applied when, and only when, the form is
saved.
Notice Before making changes, you should save the configuration to
your PC or network. This provides a baseline which can be restored to
the base station if the configuration information becomes lost or cor-
rupted.
You should also back up the configuration before downgrading to a dif-
ferent software release. Note that if you downgrade and then upgrade
software, configuration values for new features may become default.
