Saving, Resetting,
and Restoring
Configurations
This section discusses how you can save, restore, or reset your AP configurations.
Saving a Configuration The AP keeps only saved configuration changes after a reset. To make
configuration changes permanent, save changes as needed. To save all changes,
press F1 in all configuration screens that display the Save option. Otherwise,
follow the procedure below.
1 Select Special Functions from the Main Menu. The Special Functions Menu
displays.
2 Select Save Configuration and press Enter.
The Save All APs function saves only the five parameters the precede it in the
Special Functions Menu. You can use this option only among the same hardware
platforms and firmware versions.
The NVRAM stores saved configuration information. To clear configuration
information stored in the NVRAM, see “Restoring the Default AP Configuration”.
Resetting an AP Resetting an AP clears statistics and restores the last saved configuration. If you
changes and do not save them, the AP clears those changes and restores the
factory defaults on reset. To reset the AP, do the following:
1 Select Special Functions from the Main Menu.
2 Select Reset AP. The AP LEDs flash as they do when the AP powers up. The AP
returns to a STATUS-flashing state.
In Windows 2000, the F1 key will not work correctly to save configuration
settings. To save settings, press the Tab key to highlight the onscreen F1
selection, then press Enter. Answer yes when prompted to save changes.
To enable the F1 key to work correctly in Windows 2000, you should upgrade
your Hyperterminal application to Hyperterminal Private Edition. This software is
