3. Choose SEND to update your Wireless Space (Fig. 76).

Please be patient while the device updates and auto-

matically restarts. Upon reboot, the light ﬂashes red/blue/

green as notiﬁcation that the update is in process. Once

ﬁnished, the light will turn back to blue (Wi-Fi active) or

green (Wi-Fi inactive) based upon the mode you are using.

TECHNICAL INFO: Updating ﬁrmware on the Wireless Space is

an important step in maintaining optimal performance. Further it is

non-destructive, which means that data stored on the device is not

lost.

IMPORTANT INFO: DO NOT unplug the power cable or attempt

to turn off the Wireless Space while it is updating the ﬁrmware. You

will disrupt the integrity of the system.

Conﬁguration Tab - Reset

For troubleshooting purposes or to run the Setup Wizard again, it

may be necessary to reset the Wireless Space. Before applying any

of the reset options (Fig. 77, a, b, & c), you may save the current

conﬁguration and its settings (Fig. 77, d). If the conﬁguration is par-

ticularly complex, backing up the settings (Wi-Fi access point secu-

rity settings, router settings, etc.) will save time when restoring your

Wireless Space. For example, if you wish to reformat the Wireless

Space internal hard drive but intend to maintain the current conﬁgu-

ration. To backup and restore a conﬁguration:

✦ Select SAVE (Fig. 77, d) to backup the settings to your com-

puter or a separate drive before resetting the device. The ﬁle

name will resemble something like: “db_2010-02-22_11-37-

31.dat”. Note the location of the ﬁle on your computer.

✦ Once the reset is ﬁnished, you can skip the Setup Wizard and

load the backed up conﬁguration.

1. Choose the Support page and Conﬁguration tab in the

Dashboard.

2. Click RESTORE (Fig. 77, d) and browse for the conﬁgura-

tion ﬁle on your computer. Select SEND to load the con-

ﬁguration.

✦ Please note that the Wireless Space will be restored to its

default settings after a reset, which means an IP address of

192.168.1.1 and the conﬁguration NAS Router (see 1.9. De-

fault Settings). Make certain to disconnect the Wireless Space

from a router, switch, or Internet provider before attempting

to access the Dashboard. The connection should remain be-

tween the computer and the Wireless Space when attempting

to restore a conﬁguration.
