System Configuration

Exporting and Importing Wireless Switch Settings

All of the configuration settings for the WS 2000 Wireless Switch can be saved to a
configuration file and then either imported back into the same switch or transferred to
another switch. This file-based configuration saving feature provides several benefits:

• It can speed the switch setup process significantly at sites using multiple WS 2000

Wireless switches

• It allows an administrator to “backup” the current switch configuration before making

significant changes, before restoring the default configuration, or for precautionary
measures.

Select System Configuration --> Config Import/Export from the left menu to import
or export the switch configuration settings.
