You can save a copy of the current configuration settings. If necessary, you can restore
the configuration settings later.
Note: The backup file is saved in a binary format so that it is protected and cannot be

access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.

and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
