Downloading the Latest Software
Avaya periodically releases updated software for the AP on its Web site at
http://support.avaya.com. Avaya recommends that you check the Web site for the latest
updates after you have installed and initialized the unit.

Setting Up 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 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
Avaya AP Installation CD-ROM. You can also download the latest TFTP software from
Solarwind's Web site at http://www.solarwinds.net.
Note:
If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file
Note:
transfer operations using the HTTP interface.
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.
Three types of files can be downloaded to the AP from a TFTP server:
image (AP software image or kernel)
•
config (configuration file)
•
bspBl (BSP/Bootloader firmware file)
