Enable Reset Button: this option allows enabling or disabling the reset button. It
helps to prevent accidental device resetting to default. Although the option is
disabled, the device still is able to perform a device reset through the TFTP Recovery
procedure (http://www.ubnt.com/wiki/Firmware_Recovery)
Location
Latitude and Longitude define the device coordinates; they are used to
automatically update device location in AirControl.
Configuration Management
AirOS v5.3 configuration is stored in plain text file (cfg file). Use the
Configuration Management section controls to backup, restore or update the
system configuration file:
Backup Configuration: click Download button to download the current
system configuration file.
Upload Configuration: click Browse button to navigate to and select the
new configuration file or specify the full path to the configuration file
location.
Activating the Upload button will transfer new configuration file to the system. The settings of the new configuration will be visible in the
Wireless, Network, Advanced, Services and System pages of the Web Management Interface.
New configuration will be effective after the Apply button is activated and system reboot cycle is completed. Previous system
configuration is deleted after Apply button is activated. It is highly recommended to backup the system configuration before uploading
the new configuration.
Use only configuration backups of the same type device - configuration backed up from Bullet M2 (or M5), Rocket M2 (or
M5), NanoStation M2 (or M5)! Behavior may be unpredictable when mixing configurations from different type devices. AirOS
v3.4 backups are not compatible with AirOS v5.3
