Using the Web Interface To Download Software From
the Local Computer
This procedure assumes that:
■ A software file for the access point has been stored on the local computer.
(The access point software file is typically available from the HP ProCurve
website at http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve.)
The access point is properly connected to your network and has already
■
been configured with a compatible IP address and subnet mask.
Before you use the procedure, do the following:
Store or locate the access point software file on the local computer (for
■
example, hp420-2038.bin).
The Software Upgrade window on the Administration tab enables the access
point's system software to be upgraded by downloading a new file to the
access point's flash memory. The new software file must be stored locally on
a management station using the access point's web interface.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Software Upgrade Local: Downloads a software file from the web
management station to the access point using HTTP. Use the Browse
button to locate the file locally on the management station and click Start
Upgrade to proceed.
The new software file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading
letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length
for files on the access point is 32 characters. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z,
0-9, ".", "-", "_")
■ Restore Factory Settings: Click the Restore button to reset the access
point's configuration settings to the factory defaults and reboot the
system.
Reset Access Point: Click the Reset button to reboot the system.
