8. To upgrade firmware using a FTP server, use the upgrade command.
ftp://<username>:<password>@169.254.0.1/AP6532-5.4.0.0-047R.img
Alternatively, a user can upgrade the AP6532 firmware using a TFTP server using the upgrade command.
tftp://169.254.0.1/AP6532-5.4.0.0-047R.img
The AP6532 downloads the firmware from FTP/TFTP server. This process will take a few minutes.
9. When finished, type
10. The AP6532 reboots and SSH session is terminated. The reboot takes a couple of minutes.
11. Run a ping from the computer to the AP6532. A ping will be timed out during the reboot.
12. When the ping resumes, start an SSH session again to the AP6532.
13. Login to the AP6532 using the new password and confirm the firmware upgrade is successful by issuing a

5.2.11.2 Profile Management Configuration and Deployment Considerations

Profile Management Configuration
Before defining a access point profile's management configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the
profile configuration is optimally effective:
• Define profile management access configurations providing both encryption and authentication. Management services like
HTTPS, SSH and SNMPv3 should be used when possible, as they provide data privacy and authentication.
• Motorola Solutions recommends SNMPv3 be used for management profile configurations, as it provides both encryption,
and authentication.

5.2.12 Mesh Point Configuration

System Profile Configuration
The access point can be configured to be a part of a meshed network. A mesh network is one where each node in the network
is be able to communicate with other nodes in the network and where the node can maintain more than one path to its peers.
Mesh network provides robust, reliable and redundant connectivity to all the members of the network. When one of the
participant node in a Mesh Network becomes unavailable, the other nodes in the network are still able to communicate with
each other either directly or through intermediate nodes.
Mesh Point is the name given to a device that is a part of a meshed network.
Use the Mesh Point screen to configure the parameters that set how this device behaves as a part of the mesh network.
