24.3 Saving The Current Configuration To A Backup File

To save a copy of the current settings on an access point to a backup configuration
file (

.cbk

format):

1.

Click the download configuration link.

A File Download or Open dialog is displayed.

2.

Choose the Save option on this first dialog.

This brings up a file browser.

3.

Use the file browser to navigate to the directory where you want to save
the file, and click OK to save the file.

You can keep the default file name (

config.cbk

) or rename the backup

file, but be sure to save the file with a

.cbk

extension.

24.4 Restoring The Configuration From A Previously

Saved File

To restore the configuration on an access point to previously saved settings:

1.

Select the backup configuration file you want to use, either by typing
the full path and file name in the Restore textbox or click Browse and
select the file.

(Only those files that were created with the Backup function and saved as

.cbk

backup configuration files are valid to use with Restore; for example,

config.cbk

.)

Important:

It is only possible to restore the configuration file to a 9160 of the
same model as the one from which the configuration file was
obtained.

For example, a 9160 G2 model “9160 Wireless Gateway” will not
restore a configuration file saved from a 9160 G2 model “9160
Wireless Gateway (Dual Radio)”.

2.

Click the Restore button.

The access point will reboot.
