on the switch. From the interface the administrator can:
• Change the general system settings, such as the name of the switch and the location of the switch
• Restart the switch
• Restore factory settings
• Export or import the switch’s configuration settings
• Find and install firmware updates
• Change the settings for who can access the switch for administration purposes
• Configure how log files are saved
• View system statistics for WAN communication, subnets, WLANS, Access Ports, and mobile units
Restarting the WS 2000 Wireless Switch
During the normal course of operations, the administrator might need to restart or reset the switch. For example, changing
certain configuration settings can require restarting the switch for those settings to take effect.
1. Select System Configuration --> System Settings from the left menu.-
2. Click the Restart WS 2000 button to restart the switch. A second window appears, asking for confirmation.
3. Select the Restart button. Upon confirming the restart, the switch reboots. Typically, normal communications with the
switch are restored within a minute or two.
Configuration settings are unaffected by the restart process; however, all cumulative
transmission and reception statistics are reset to zero.
