Figure 2-81. Auto-Upgrade / Remote Reboot Menu
•
Auto Upgrade
—Causes all of the Remotes associated to this AP to read the AP’s newest firmware
version (active or inactive) and upload it via TFTP to the inactive image, but only if it is newer than
the Remote’s current firmware.
•
Reboot on Upgrade
—Determines how a Remote will behave once it has uploaded new firmware
from the AP as part of an auto-upgrade. When enabled, the Remote will reboot to the new firmware.
•
Force Reboot
—Causes all of the Remotes associated to this AP to reboot immediately. They will
reboot to their current active image—the same as if the power were re-cycled.
NOTE:
To use the Auto Upgrade/Reboot feature, both the AP and Remotes must already be running
version 4.4.0 or newer firmware.
Exception: If the AP has already been upgraded to version 4.4.0 and the Remote is still at 3.5.0
or older, you can upgrade the Remote by using the AP as a file server. This method allows for
only one remote to be upgraded at a time. Instructions for this method are given below.
Firmware Upgrade (with AP Acting as a TFTP Server)
An AP running firmware version 4.4.0 (or newer) may be used as a file server to upgrade Remotes running
older firmware (3.5.0 or earlier). Follow the steps below to perform the upgrade:
1. At the Reprogramming Menu (Page 83), Enter the AP’s IP Address in the TFTP Server field.
2. Enter
upgrade_from_ap.ipk
in the Filename field.
NOTE:
The filename is case sensitive.
3. Perform the firmware download.
2.9.6 Radio Test Menu
Using this menu, you can manually key the radio transmitter to make measurements of antenna perfor-
mance. (See “Antenna Aiming” on Page 115 for details.)
