48 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE ETHERNET ADAPTER
Backing up a
Configuration
As part of system maintenance, you should save and back up the
configurations of individual Ethernet Adapters in case you need to reload
them in the future. The backup saves all the parameters of the selected
Ethernet Adapter in a file on your computer. The file can be used later to
restore the configuration on this or another Ethernet Adapter.
1 Set the Ethernet Adapter parameters in the System Configuration pages.
2 Under Tools, click Backup Wireless Ethernet Adapter.
3 In the next page, click Backup Now.
4 Specify a name and location for the backup, and click OK.
Restoring a
Configuration
If you have stored a backup configuration on your computer, you can
restore the configuration as follows:
1 Under Tools, click Restore Wireless Ethernet Adapter.
2 In the next page, click Browse and select the backup file to upload.
3 Click Restore.
The configuration is restored and activated on the Ethernet Adapter. This
operation may cause the Ethernet Adapter to reboot.
If the Ethernet Adapter was using an IP address setting other than the
backup, restoring the configuration will change the IP address. If you
want to continue configuring the Ethernet Adapter, do the following:
1 Close your browser.
2 Return to the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager and
click Refresh.
3 Select the device and click Configure to start a new configuration session.
