Copy/Save Configuration

The Copy/Save Configuration page enables you to copy files within the AP file system. For example, you can copy the Backup Configuration file to the Startup Configuration file type, so that it is used the next time you boot up the WAP device.

To copy a file to another file type:

  1. Select Administration > Copy/Save Configuration in the navigation pane.
  2. Select the Source File Name:
    • Startup Configuration—Configuration file type used when the WAP device last booted. This does not include any configuration changes applied but not yet saved to the WAP device.
    • Backup Configuration—Backup configuration file type saved on the WAP device.
    • Mirror Configuration—If the Startup Configuration is not modified for at least 24 hours, it is automatically saved to a Mirror Configuration file. The Mirror Configuration file is a snapshot of a past Startup Configuration. The Mirror Configuration is preserved across factory resets, so it can be used to recover a system configuration after a factory reset by copying the Mirror Configuration to the Startup Configuration.
  3. For the Destination File Name, select the file type to be replaced with the file you are copying.
  4. Click Save to begin the copy process.

When complete, a window shows the message, Copy Operation Successful.
