Restoring the Conguration from a Previously Saved File

You can use HTTP or TFTP to transfer les to and from the UAP. After you download a conguration le to the

management station, you can manually edit the le, which is in XML format. Then, you can upload the edited

conguration le to apply those conguration settings to the AP.

Use the following procedures to restore the conguration on an AP to previously saved settings by using TFTP:

1.) Select TFTP for Upload Method.
