Performing Altitude AP software maintenance

Periodically, the software used by the Altitude APs is altered for reasons of upgrade or security. The
new version of the AP software is installed from the Summit WM Controller.
The software for each Altitude AP can be uploaded either immediately, or the next time the Altitude AP
connects. Part of the Altitude AP boot sequence is to seek and install its software from the Summit WM
Controller.
Most of the properties of each radio on an Altitude AP can be modified without requiring a reboot of
the AP:
The Altitude AP keeps a backup copy of its software image. When a software upgrade is sent to the
Altitude AP, the upgrade becomes the Altitude AP's current image and the previous image becomes the
backup. In the event of failure of the current image, the Altitude AP will run the backup image.
To maintain the list of current Altitude AP software images:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude AP Configuration. The Altitude APs page is displayed.
2 From the left pane, click WAP Maintenance. The WAP Maintenance tab is displayed.
