Access Point Management
Auto Config/Update
The Auto Config/Update screen provides two (2) features:
• Auto Config - The Access Point will configure itself by copying data from another
(compatible) Access Point.
• Auto Update - The Access Point will update its Firmware by downloading the Firmware
file from your FTP Server.

Perform Auto Configu-
ration on this AP next
restart
If checked, this AP will perform Auto Configuration the next
time it restarts.
The wired LAN (NOT the Wireless LAN) will be searched
for compatible APs.
If a compatible AP is found, its configuration is copied. If
more than one compatible AP exists, the first one found is
used.
Some data cannot be copied:
• The IP address is not copied, and will not change.
• The operating mode ( Repeater, Bridge, etc) is not copied,
and will not change.
Note: This checkbox is automatically disabled after Auto-
configuration, so the Auto-configuration is only performed
once.
Respond to Auto-
configuration request by
other AP
If checked, this AP will respond to "Auto Configuration"
requests it receives. If not checked, "Auto Configuration"
requests will be ignored.
