Upgrading the Access Points
210
This section is an excerpt from the MobileLAN access WA2X System
Manual (073915-002).
For optimal performance, you should install the most current software
version on all the access points in your network. To upgrade the software,
you must copy the software release to your PC and then upload the release
to your root access point and other access points. However, you can also
configure the root access point to copy the release to all other access points
in its spanning tree.
You can upgrade the access point software using:
• Wavelink Avalanche client management system. For help, see "Using
the Wavelink Avalanche Client Management System" in the
MobileLAN access WA2X System Manual and the Wavelink Avalanche
documentation and online help. Or, you can visit the Wavelink web site
at www.wavelink.com.
• the MobileLAN access Utility as a distributed upgrade server. For help,
see the next section, "Using the MobileLAN access Utility," and the
online help.
• a web browser interface. For help, see "Using a Web Browser Interface"
on page 213.
