Upgrading the Firmware

Using the File Management option you can manage your files through HTTP and TFTP.

The HTTP Interface (Web browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from

any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub etc) over the Internet, or

with a “cross-over” Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer.

Using the TFTP server you can transfer files across a network. You can upload files from the AP for backup or copying,

you can download the files for configuration and AP image upgrades.

File Management

Using the File Management category you can upgrade your device firmware:

• Downloading files (Config, image) to the AP using one of the two methods is called Update Device.

• Uploading files (Config, Event Log) from the AP is called Retrieve From Device.

TFTP File Transfer Guidelines

A TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory containing the file. If you do not have a TFTP

server on your system, install the TFTP server from the installation CD.

HTTP File Transfer Guidelines

HTTP file transfer can be performed either with or without SSL enabled. HTTP file transfers with SSL require enabling

Secure Management and Secure Management and Secure Socket Layer. HTTP transfers that use SSL may take

additional time.

Image Error Checking during File Transfer

The Access Point performs checks to verify that an image downloaded through HTTP or TFTP is valid. The following

checks are performed on the downloaded image:

• Zero image size

• Large image size
