7.10 Updating Sensor Firmware

WS2000 provides support for setting up AP300s as dedicated sensors. This feature enables updating the
firmware for these APs without disturbing the switch settings. The following must be noted with respect to
sensor firmware update:
• The switch need not be restarted after a successful sensor firmware update.
• APs that are converted as sensors after a sensor firmware update receive the new firmware.
• APs that are sensors when the sensor firmware update is performed have to be reverted and
re-converted.
Select [System Configuration] --> [Cfg/Firmware Mgt.] --> Sensor Firmware Update
menu to set parameters to update the sensor firmware.
