configurations of individual Bridges in case you need to reload them in

a file on your computer. The file can be used later to restore the
configuration on this or another bridge.

1 Set the Bridge parameters in the System Configuration pages.

2 Under Tools, click Backup Wireless Workgroup Bridge.

3 In the next page, click Backup Now.

4 Specify a name and location for the backup, and click OK.
