3 Copy both the firmware and configuration files to the appropriate directory on the TFTP Server.
By default, auto update is enabled on the access point (since the LAN Port is a DHCP Client,
out-of-the-box auto update support is on the LAN Port).
4 Restart the access point.
5 While the access point boots up, verify the access point:
●
Obtains and applies the expected IP Address from the DHCP Server
●
Downloads the firmware and configuration files from the TFTP Server and updates both as
required. Verify the file versions within the
System Settings screen.
NOTE
If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated. If the configuration file name matches
the last used configuration file on the access point or if the configuration file versions are the same, the access
point configuration will not get updated.
NOTE
The update process is conducted over the LAN or WAN port depending on which Server responds first to
the access point’s request for an automatic update.
