Backing Up and Restoring Configuration
To back up the current access point configuration:
1. On the menu, click Backup Settings. The Backup Settings page appears.
2. Click Backup under Save a Copy of Current Settings. A browser dialog
box appears, as your browser attempts to download the configuration file
from the access point.
3. Click Save. The Save As dialog box appears.
4. Choose a location where to save the configuration file and, if you want,
change the file name. The default file name is HP500_POE_R.cfg. If you
are changing the file name, HP recommends including the current date in
the file name for ease of identification.
5. Click Save.
6. Start Windows Explorer, and then browse to the location where you save
the configuration file, and then verify that it has been downloaded
successfully.
To restore a backup configuration:
1. On the menu, click Backup Settings. The Backup Settings page appears.
2. Click Browse under Restore Saved Setting from a File.
3. When the Choose File dialog box appears, browse to the location where
you saved the backup configuration file.
4. Select the backup file (default file name is HP500_POE_R.cfg), and then
click Open.
5. Click Restore. A confirmation message appears.
Caution! Restoring settings from a backup configuration file will overwrite all current
access point settings. Make sure you are restoring the correct backup file.
