To back up configuration of the IEEE 802.11b/g by TFTP:

1. Get a computer that will be used as a TFTP server and as a managing computer to trigger the

backup process.

2. Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch port with a normal Ethernet cable.

3. Configure the IP address of the computer so that the computer and the IEEE 802.11b/g are in the

same IP subnet.

4. On the computer, run the TFTP Server utility. Select the Accept write requests check box, and

specify the folder to which the configuration settings of the IEEE 802.11b/g will be saved.

5. On the computer, run a Web browser and click the General, Firmware Tools hyperlink.

6. Choose TFTP as the Firmware management protocol.

7. Within the Configuration Backup/Restore section, specify the IP address of the computer,

which acts as a TFTP server. If you don’t know the IP address of the computer, open a Com-

mand Prompt, and type IpConfig, then press the Enter key.

8. Trigger the backup process by clicking Back Up. The IEEE 802.11b/g’s configuration settings

will be saved as “AaBbCcDdEeFf.hex” by the TFTP server, where “AaBbCcDdEeFf” is the

AP’s MAC address. For example, if the AP’s MAC address is 00-01-02-33-44-55, the configu-

ration backup file will be “000102334455.hex”.

NOTE: Remember to select the Accept write requests check box of TFTP Server.

To restore configuration of the IEEE 802.11b/g by TFTP:

1. Get a computer that will be used as a TFTP server and as a managing computer to trigger the

restoring process.

2. Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch port with a normal Ethernet cable.

3. Configure the IP address of the computer so that the computer and the IEEE 802.11b/g are in the

same IP subnet.

4. On the computer, run the TFTP Server utility. And specify the folder in which the configuration

backup file resides. A configuration backup file is named by the AP’s MAC address. For exam-

ple, if the AP’s MAC address is 00-01-02-33-44-55, the configuration backup file should be

“000102334455.hex”.

5. On the computer, run a Web browser and click the General, Firmware Tools hyperlink.

6. Choose TFTP as the Firmware management protocol.

7. Within the Configuration Backup/Restore section, specify the IP address of the computer,

which acts as a TFTP server. If you don’t know the IP address of the computer, open a Com-

mand Prompt, and type IpConfig, then press the Enter key.

8. Trigger the restoring process by clicking Restore. The IEEE 802.11b/g will then download the

configuration backup file from the TFTP server.

NOTE: Make sure the file is a valid configuration backup file for the IEEE 802.11b/g.
