This describes advanced configuration for administrators. Configuration can be done either through the access point's GUI, or through command line FTP and modifying the configuration file shown below in a text editor.

Reasons to manipulate the configuration file include:

  • You wish to keep previous versions of the configuration for backup and historical reasons.
  • The network is very slow, causing the GUI to be difficult to use.
  • You want identical changes to be made across more than one access point.

    Username: admin
    Default password: password


To get firmware version:

The WG302 is a business access point. It's easy to manage, and very stable and secure.

To increase coverage, either:

get WG302.VER


To get the station table:

We recommend doing this and saving a copy before any manual changes to the configuration file.

get WG302.STA


To upgrade the firmware:

put pathWG302.RMG WG302.RMG


To get configuration:

get WG302.CFG


To set configuration:

put pathWG302.CFG WG302.CFG

Example of use:

open 172.31.17.183
admin
password
get WG302.VER c:FTP-Root172.31.17.183.Version.b.txt
get WG302.STA c:FTP-Root172.31.17.183.Status.txt
get WG302.CFG c:FTP-Root172.31.17.183.Config.txt
put c:FTP-RootWG302.RMG WG302.RMG
put c:cfgwg302.cfg WG302.CFG
disconnect
