Changes and Improvements


    New:     Save Configuration
             - User is able to save the current configuration of the selected XAir Access Point.
               Through menu "Configuration->Save" the user can specify a file name 
               where the actual configuration is stored in. This feature is also selectable
               pressing keyboard key "F6".

    New:     Reset to factory default
             - With "Ctrl Shift R" and "Configuration->FactoryDefault" the focused and selected
               XAir Access Point's configuration data is reset to factory default, this includes the
               core configuration, i.e., the password settings the ip configuration and the
               ACL cache.
             - Menu "Configuration->Reset" resets all configuration data except password, 
               IP-settings and the ACL-Cache.
             
    New:     User Interface
             - The position of the main window is saved in the registry.
             - Replace Discovery and IP-Setup toolbar buttons. Add firmware upgrade button.
             - Toolbar properties are saved in the registry.

    Bugfix:  Firmware upgrade
             - The password assignement to all passwords in context of the firmware upgrade
               does not work. Since this version it is not possible to choose "assign to all" in
               the password dialog in context of the firmware upgrade.
             
    Change:  Firmware upgrade
             - The XAir Access Point's name is shown in the window title.
             - Firmware upload is only possible if discovery is not in progress and
               automatic discovery is disabled. The XAir Manager disables the automatic search while firmware
               upgrade without informing the user. After firmware upgrade the automatic search is enabled
               if it has been enabled before.
               
    Change:  IP configuration
             - The XAir Access Point's mac address is shown in the window title of the IP setup dialog.    
             - Calling the IP setup dialog disables the automatic search without informing the user.
               After IP setup the automatic search is enabled if it has been enabled before.

    Notes:   
    - IP configuration and DHCP
      XAir Manager v2.07 in conjunction with XAir Access Point firmware version greater than
      3.00 offers the possibility to disable the DHCP client on the XAir Access Point:
      If DHCP is up and running on the XAir Access Point and user of the XAir Manager tries to 
      change the IP configuration of the XAir Access Point, the XAir Access Point will disable DHCP.
      This operation may take some time and may be force an error message
      like "Read select timeout". But this error is not critical. Although
      getting this error message DHCP is disabled on the XAir Access Point. To avoid
      this error message go to Option dialog and increase the discovery timeout.
             
    Known Problems 
    - The XAir Manager does not always discover a XAir Access Point, if the IP 
      address of the XAir Access Point is "0.0.0.0" and a router is between the XAir Access Point 
      and the host running the XAir Manager.
    - Problems with XAir Access Point firmware versions above 2.73:
      The first discovery is not able to get the firmware version of the
      XAir Access Points because there is no password assigned to get this information.
      After first discovery the user must specify a password to get this
      information. This is obsolete with XAir Access Point firmware 2.73!
    - Under Win2k there might be problems running the XAir Manager on a client (Laptop)
      which loses the connection to a XAir Access Point for a undefined time. After 
      reconnect to a XAir Access Point the XAir Manager might be unable to find any XAir Access Point.
      Solution: Shutdown and restart the XAir Manager OR choose Menu "Extras" 
      Submenu "Options" and click on "OK" in the "Options"-Dialog. 
      After this the XAir Manager must be find all installed XAir Access Points on the network.
