The Maintenance pages provide functions for common administrative tasks including creating, storing,
and restoring a back up file, updating system software, and shutting down a 700wl Series system
component.
Note:
You must have Network Administrator or Super Administrator access to perform the functions
described in this chapter.
Caution: Many of the functions discussed in this chapter involve restarting a 700wl Series system
component. Restarting an Access Controller in most cases should not log off clients, but restarting an
Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager will log off all clients on all Access Controllers. If
possible, you should perform functions that require a system restart during times when few clients are
actively connected to your system.
Software Setup
The Software Setup tab of the Maintenance module lets you manage the software running on a 700wl
Series system component. A 700wl Series system component maintains two separate software images—
the Installed Version, which is the version currently running on that unit, and the Alternate Version,
which is typically the version of the software that was running on the unit prior to the most recent
software upgrade.
To manage the system software running on a 700wl Series system component, do the following:
Step 1. Click MAINT in the Navigation bar or click the Software Setup tab within the Maintenance module.
The Software Setup tab opens—for example, as shown in Figure 8-1.
