Rebooting The Access Point
Note:
When you click Restore, the access point will reboot. A “reboot” confirma-
tion dialog and follow-on “rebooting” status message will be displayed.
Please wait for the reboot process to complete (a minute or two). After a
moment, try accessing the Administration Web pages as described in the
next step; they will not be accessible until the AP has rebooted.
When the access point has rebooted, access the Administration Web pages either by
clicking again on one of the tabs (if the UI is still displayed) or by typing the IP
address of the access point into your browser. Now you should see the configuration
settings restored to the original settings you retrieved from the Backup file.
24.5 Rebooting The Access Point
For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the 9160
G2 Wireless Gateway as follows.
1.
Click the Maintenance > Configuration tab.
2.
Click the Restore button.
The access point will reboot.
24.6 Upgrading The Firmware
As new versions of the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway firmware become available, you
can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take advantage of new features and
enhancements.
Important:
Do not upgrade the firmware from a wireless client that is associ-
ated with the access point you are upgrading. Doing so will cause
the upgrade to fail. Furthermore, all wireless clients will be disas-
sociated and no new associations will be allowed.
If you encounter this scenario, the solution is to use a wired client
to gain access to the access point:
• Create a wired Ethernet connection from a PC to the
access point.
• Bring up the Administration UI.
Repeat the upgrade process with the wired client.
