Restore configuration
The Restore configuration option enables you to load a previously saved configuration file.
This option enables you to maintain several configuration files with different settings, which
can be useful if you must frequently alter the configuration of the AP or if you are managing
several APs from a central site.

1. Select Maintenance > Config file management. The Config file management page
opens.
2. Under Restore configuration, select Browse to navigate to and select the
configuration file that you want to restore.

password to restore the complete configuration. If you supply an invalid password, all
settings are restored except for certificates and private keys.
4. Select Restore to load the selected file.
Note The AP automatically restarts when once the configuration file has been loaded.
