4.14.2 SNMP System Setting

4.15 System tools

Go to SNMP > SNMP Setting in order to conﬁgure several system-related parameters

(iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system), as shown in Figure 4-56.

System Tools option helps you to optimize the conﬁguration of your device. You can upgrade the

AP to the latest version of ﬁrmware, as well as backup or restore the AP’s conﬁguration ﬁles.

Ping Watch Dog is designed to constantly monitor a particular connection to a remote host

using the Ping tool. Speed Test helps to test the connection speed to and from any reachable

IP address on current network, especially when we are building wireless network between

devices which are far away from each other. It’s suggested that you change the default password

to a more secure one because it controls access to the device’s web-based management page.

Besides, you can ﬁnd out what happened to the system in System Log.

There are ten submenus under the System Tools menu (shown as Figure 4-57): Time, Firmware,

Factory Defaults, Backup & Restore, Ping Watch Dog, Reboot, Password, Syslog and Statistics.

Clicking any of them will enable you to conﬁgure the corresponding function. The detailed

explanations for each submenu are provided below.

Click the Save button to keep the conﬁguration of the current page.

this is the node’s fully-qualiﬁed domain name.
