4.7 System Tools

System Tools option helps you to optimize the configuration of your device. SNMP can help you
to manage the device locally or remotely with specified software. The diagnostic tools (Ping and
Traceroute) allow you to check the connections of your network components. You can upgrade
the AP to the latest version of firmware as well as backup or restore the AP’s configuration files.
Ping Watch Dog can help to continuously monitor a particular connection to a remote host. It’s
suggested that you change the default password to a more secure one because it controls access
to the device’s web-based management page. Besides, you can find out what happened to the
system in System Log.

There are nine submenus under the System Tools menu (shown as Figure 4-28): SNMP,
Diagnostic, Firmware Upgrade, Factory Defaults, Backup & Restore, Ping Watch Dog,
Reboot, Password, and System Log. Clicking any of them will enable you to configure the
corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.
