Access Point configuration. Configuration 
items include the IP Address and other 
network-specific values. Config files may 
be downloaded to the Access Point or 
uploaded for backup or troubleshooting.
Download vs. Upload

Point. Uploads transfer files from the 
Access Point. The TFTP server performs 
file transfers in both directions.
Group

information. For example, the System 
Group is composed of several related 
parameters.

Tables.

displayed with a show <Group> CLI 
Command.
