list and channel usage, upload new firmware, manage configuration and restart your ZyXEL
Device without turning it off and on.

14.2 What You Can Do in the Maintenance Screens

• Use the Association List screen (see

Section 14.4 on page 121

stations that are currently associated with the ZyXEL Device.

• Use the Channel Usage screen (see

turning the power off.

system model name with a "*.bin" extension, for example "NWA-1100.bin". The upload
process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a
successful upload, the system will reboot.
