Upgrade Firmware

Using the Console Port

Follow this procedure to upgrade the Access Point 2000 from the console port. Do not
choose the Save command when using the Upgrade Flash command.
1. Choose Module-Specific Options from the Access Point Installation Menu.
2. Choose Upgrade Flash from the next menu.
3. Choose BootP Server if a BootP server has been configured with the correct file.
Choose TFTP Server if you wish to upgrade the AP with a specific image. If choosing
TFTP Server, you will be prompted for the server IP address and image file name.
4. If using TFTP, enter the latest N*.BIN file for firmware upgrades, or R*.BIN file for
BootROM upgrades in the Image file path. Enter the TFTP Server IP address of the
system running NetRider Loader, or your TFTP server's IP address.
5. Follow the online instructions to complete the upgrade.

Using the RoamAbout AP Manager

1. Select the RoamAbout Access Point 2000 that you want to upgrade from the
RoamAbout AP Manager Managed List.
2. Click on the Reload button in the Main window.
3. Select one of the following:
— Use this Computer
The firmware image is on the same computer and in the same directory as the AP
Manager, which uses the NetRider Loader application to load the image. You need
to specify the image file name in the Firmware Image File field. You can use the
Browse button to search for the file name.
— Use Remote BootP server
If you have one or more BootP servers configured on the same subnet as the AP,
use this option to have the AP send a BootP request. The first BootP server to
respond is the one that loads the AP. A BootP server is configured to use a specific
file; therefore, you do not need to specify a file name here.
— Use Remote TFTP Server and enter the IP address of your TFTP server
The AP only loads the image from the TFTP server whose IP address is specified
in the TFTP Server Address field. You need to specify the image file name in
the Firmware Image File field. You should use this option when you are
managing APs on a different subnet than the computer with the AP Manager.
