4.7 Importing/Exporting Configurations

All of the configuration settings for an AP-5131 can be obtained from another AP-5131 in the form of
a text file. Additionally, all of the AP-5131’s settings can be downloaded to another AP-5131. Use the
file-based configuration feature to speed up the setup process significantly at sites using multiple
AP-5131s.

Another benefit is the opportunity to save the current AP configuration before making significant
changes or restoring the default configuration. All options on the AP-5131 are deleted and updated
by the imported file. Therefore, the imported configuration is not a merge with the configuration of
the target AP-5131. The exported file can be edited with any document editor if necessary.

The export function will always export the encrypted Admin User password. The import function will
import the Admin Password only if the AP-5131 is set to factory default. If the AP-5131 is not
configured to factory default settings, the Admin User password WILL NOT get imported.

Use the

Config Import/Export

screen to configure an import or export operation for AP-5131

configuration settings.

CAUTION A single-radio model AP-5131 cannot import/export its configuration

to a dual-radio model AP-5131. In turn, a dual-radio model AP-5131
cannot import/export its configuration to a single-radio AP-5131.

NOTE

Use the

System Settings

screen as necessary to restore an AP-5131

default configuration. For more information on restoring configurations,
see

Configuring System Settings on page 4-2

.

CAUTION Symbol discourages importing a 1.0 baseline configuration file to a

1.1 version AP-5131. Similarly, a 1.1 baseline configuration file should
not be imported to a 1.0 version AP-5131. Importing configuration files
between different version AP-5131’s results in broken configurations,
since new features added to the 1.1 version AP-5131 cannot be
supported in a 1.0 version AP-5131.
