7.7 Updating the WS 2000 Wireless Switch's Firmware

From time to time, Symbol will release updates to the WS 2000 Wireless Switch's firmware. These updates
will include:
• Information about how to communicate with newly released Access Ports
• Updates for security issues that have been identified
• Fixes to any software problems that have been identified
The switch has no redundancy capabilities and operates independently of any other WS 2000
switches on the network. This is the default setting.
Two WS 2000 switches are connected, with one set as a primary and the other as a standby. The
primary switch will send heartbeat packets to the specified port of the standby switch at a
specified interval. If the standby switch doesn't receive a heartbeat packet in a specified amount
of time, it will take over as the primary switch.
