Uploading New Management Software To The Access Point - Allied Telesis TQ6000 GEN2 Series Management Software User Manual

Uploading New Management Software to the Access Point

Allied Telesis might release new versions of the management software on
the company's web site for customers who want to upgrade the firmware
on their access points.
This procedure explains how to upload new firmware to the access point.
Please review the following information before performing the procedure:
The procedure assumes you have already obtained the new image

file from the Allied Telesis web site and stored it on your computer
or network server.
The configuration settings of the access point are retained when a

new firmware image is uploaded to the device.
The access point does not compare the version numbers of the

new and current firmware when it uploads the management
software. You should compare the numbers yourself to avoid
uploading an older version of the firmware to the access point.
The upgrade process takes about 10 minutes.

Caution
Do not power off the device during the firmware upgrade.
Caution
The device does not forward network traffic while it uploads the
management software and writes it to the flash memory.
To upload a new version of the management software to the access point,
perform the following procedure:
1. Select Maintenance > Upgrade from the main menu. Refer to Figure
57 on page 172.
