Figure 49 - Performing AP Maintenance
Resetting the Factory Default Conguration
If you are experiencing problems with the UAP and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, click Reset. This
restores factory defaults and clears all settings, including settings such as a new password or wireless settings. You
can also use the reset button on the back panel to reset the system to the default conguration.
Rebooting the Access Point
For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the
Reboot button on the Conguration page.
Upgrading the Firmware
As new versions of the UAP rmware become available, you can upgrade the rmware on your devices to take
advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for rmware upgrades. You can also use
HTTP to perform rmware upgrades.
After you upload new rmware and the system reboots, the newly added rmware becomes the primary image. If the
upgrade fails, the original rmware remains as the primary image.
Note: When you upgrade the rmware, the access point retains the existing conguration
information.
Use the following steps to upgrade the rmware on an access point by using TFTP:
1.) Select TFTP for Upload Method.
