Download the Latest Software
Proxim periodically releases updated software for the AP-600 on its Web site at http://www.proxim.com. Proxim
recommends that you check the Web site for the latest updates after you have installed and initialized the unit.
Three types of files can be downloaded to the AP-600 from a TFTP server:
— Img (AP software image or kernel)
— Config (configuration file)
— bspBl (BSP/Bootloader firmware file)
Setup your TFTP Server
A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from
the AP-600 for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The
Solarwinds TFTP server software is located on the ORiNOCO AP-600 Installation CD-ROM. You can also download
the latest TFTP software from Solarwind's Web site at http://www.solarwinds.net.
If a TFTP server is not configured and running, you will not be able to download and upload images and configuration
files to/from the AP-600. Remember that the TFTP server does not have to be local as long as you have a valid TFTP
IP address. Also, a TFTP server does not have to be running for the AP-600 to perform tasks that do not involve file
transfers.
After the TFTP server is installed:
•
Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.
•
Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server
is operational.
•
Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files, with no automatic shutdown
or time-out.
