Download a New Image Using ScanTool

To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the
TFTP server resides and to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate
computers connected to the same network or a single computer running both programs).
ScanTool detects if an Access Point does not have a valid software image installed. In this
case, the TFTP Server and Image File Name parameters are enabled in the ScanTool's
Change screen so you can download a new image to the unit. (These fields are grayed out if
ScanTool does not detect a software image problem.)
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.
