Restoring the Configuration from a Previously Saved File
You can use HTTP or TFTP to transfer files to and from the UAP. After you download a configuration file to the
management station, you can manually edit the file, which is in XML format. Then, you can upload the edited
configuration file to apply those configuration settings to the AP.
Use the following procedures to restore the configuration on an AP to previously saved settings by using TFTP:
1. Select TFTP for Upload Method.
2. Enter a name (1 to 63 characters) for the backup file in the Filename field, including the .xml file name
extension and the path to the directory that contains the configuration file to upload.
3. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP field.
4. Click the Restore button.
The AP reboots. A reboot confirmation dialog and follow‐on rebooting status message displays. Please wait
for the reboot process to complete, which might take several minutes.
The Administration Web UI is not accessible until the AP has rebooted.
