Importing/Exporting Configurations
All of the configuration settings for an Mobility 7131 Access Point can be obtained from another
Mobility 7131 Access Point in the form of a text file. Additionally, all of the Mobility 7131 Access
Point’s settings can be downloaded to another Mobility 7131 Access Point. Use the file-based
configuration feature to speed up the setup process significantly at sites using multiple Mobility
7131 Access Points.
Another benefit is the opportunity to save the current AP configuration before making significant
changes or restoring the default configuration. All options on the access point are deleted and
updated by the imported file. Therefore, the imported configuration is not a merge with the
configuration of the target access point. The exported file can be edited with any document editor if
necessary.
View Log Click View to save a log of events retained on the Mobility 7131 Access Point. The system
displays a prompt requesting the administrator password before saving the log. After the
password has been entered, click
Get File to display a dialogue with buttons to Open or
Save the log.txt file. Click Save and specify a location to save the log file.
Use the WordPad application to view the saved log.txt file on a Microsoft Windows based
computer. Do not view the log file using Notepad, as the Notepad application does not
properly display the formatting of the Mobility 7131 Access Point log file. Log entries are not
saved in the Mobility 7131 Access Point. While the AP is in operation, log data temporarily
resides in memory. AP memory is completely cleared each time the AP reboots.
Logging Level Use the Logging Level drop-down menu to select the desired log level for tracking system
events. Eight logging levels, (0 to 7) are available. Log Level 6: Info is the Mobility 7131
Access Point default log level. These are the standard UNIX/LINUX syslog levels.The levels
are as follows:
0 - Emergency
1 - Alert
2 - Critical
3 - Errors
4 - Warning
5 - Notice
6 - Info
7 - Debug
Enable logging to an
external syslog server The Mobility 7131 Access Point can log events to an external syslog (system log) server.
Select the
Enable logging to an external syslog server checkbox to enable the server
to listen for incoming syslog messages and decode the messages into a log for viewing.
Syslog server IP
address If the Enable logging to an external syslog server checkbox is selected, the
numerical (non DNS name) IP address of an external syslog server is required in order to
route the syslog events to that destination.
