Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI
To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides.
This can be any computer on the LAN or connected to the AP-600 with a cross-over Ethernet cable.
You must also connect the AP-600 to a computer with a standard serial cable and use a terminal client, such as
HyperTerminal. From the terminal, enter CLI Commands to set the IP address and download an AP Image.
Preparing to Download the AP Image
Before starting, you need to know the Access Point's IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the
AP Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image
to be downloaded.

NOTE
You must remove the Access Point's cable cover and front cover to access the serial port.
4. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
•
Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
•
Baud rate: 9600

Data Bits: 8
•
Stop bits: 1
