System Configuration

Before upgrading new software, verify that the access point is connected to the
network and has been configured with a compatible IP address and subnet mask.

If you need to download from an FTP or TFTP server, take the following additional
steps:

• Obtain the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server where the access point software

is stored.

• If upgrading from an FTP server, be sure that you have an account configured on

the server with a user name and password.

• If VLANs are configured on the access point, determine the VLAN ID with which the

FTP or TFTP server is associated, and then configure the management station, or
the network port to which it is attached, with the same VLAN ID. If you are
managing the access point from a wireless client, the VLAN ID for the wireless
client must be configured on a RADIUS server.
