System Configuration
Before upgrading new software, verify that the access point is connected to the
network and has been configured with a compatible IP address and subnet mask.
If you need to download from an FTP or TFTP server, take the following additional
steps:
• Obtain the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server where the access point software
is stored.
• If upgrading from an FTP server, be sure that you have an account configured on
the server with a user name and password.
• If VLANs are configured on the access point, determine the VLAN ID with which
the FTP or TFTP server is associated, and then configure the management station,
or the network port to which it is attached, with the same VLAN ID. If you are
managing the access point from a wireless client, the VLAN ID for the wireless
client must be configured on a RADIUS server.
Current version – Version number of runtime code.
Firmware Upgrade Local – Downloads an operation code image file from the web
management station to the access point using HTTP. Use the Browse button to
locate the image file locally on the management station and click Start Upgrade to
proceed.
• New firmware file: Specifies the name of the code file on the server. The new
firmware file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file
name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names is 32
characters for files on the access point. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
Firmware Upgrade Remote – Downloads an operation code image file from a
specified remote FTP or TFTP server. After filling in the following fields, click Start
Upgrade to proceed.
• New firmware file: Specifies the name of the code file on the server. The new
firmware file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file
name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the
FTP/TFTP server is 255 characters or 32 characters for files on the access point.
(Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
• IP Address: IP address or host name of FTP or TFTP server.
• Username: The user ID used for login on an FTP server.
• Password: The password used for login on an FTP server.
Restore Factory Settings – Click the Restore button to reset the configuration
settings for the access point to the factory defaults and reboot the system. Note that
all user configured information will be lost. You will have to re-enter the default user
name (admin) to re-gain management access to this device.
Reboot Access Point – Click the Reset button to reboot the system.
Note: If you have upgraded system software, then you must reboot the access point to
implement the new operation code. New software that is incompatible with the
current configuration automatically restores the access point to default values
when first activated after a reboot.
