The TFTP or FTP server is accessible to the access point through IP.
■
Before you use the procedure, do the following:
■ Obtain the IP address of the TFTP or FTP server on which the access point
software file has been stored.
■ If VLANs are configured on the access point, determine the name of the
VLAN in which the TFTP or FTP server is operating.
Determine the name of the access point software file stored in the TFTP
■
or FTP server for the access point (for example, hp420-2037.bin).
If your TFTP or FTP server is a Unix workstation, ensure that the case (upper
or lower) that you specify for the filename is the same case as the characters
in the access point software filenames on the server.

Web: TFTP/FTP Software Download to the Access Point

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 remotely
on an FTP or TFTP server.
Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the access point can store only two
software files.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Software Upgrade Remote: Downloads a software file from a specified
remote FTP or TFTP server. The success of the file transfer depends on
the accessibility of the FTP or TFTP server and the quality of the network
connection.
• New software file: Specifies the name of the software file on the
server.
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 file names on the FTP/TFTP server is 255 char-
acters or 32 characters for files on the access point. (Valid characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
• IP Address: The IP address or host name of the FTP or TFTP server.
• Username: The user ID used for login on an FTP server.
• Password: The password used for login on an FTP server.
