16.3 Using Airbeam
The purpose of airbeam configuration is to supply information to the device so
that it knows how to obtain the package file that it is to use. The device uses FTP
for this purpose and so most of the commands are FTP related. This section
describes the means by which the information is supplied to the FTP client on the
device.
16.3.1 Enabling the Airbeam Function
The first parameter, mode, is pretty simple. If set to enabled, Airbeam will run
when any if its triggers occur. If set to disabled, it will never run. The triggers are:

When powered on or reset

A certain time after being inserted into the cradle

When the user enters a certain CLI command
If enabled, the airbeam process will run when any of these triggers occur no
matter how many times the trigger occurs. Upon each occurrence of a trigger,
airbeam will attempt to locate the package file and act on the contents as
needed.
The CLI command is: “system airbeam update”.
16.3.2 Getting the IP Address of the FTP Server
The first step in fetching the package file is to set up an FTP connection to it. In
order to do so, the device must know the IP address of the server. There are five
ways of learning the IP address of the FTP server:

Specify it by setting the ip_ab parameter

Specify a fully qualified DNS name via the server parameter

Specify a partially qualified DNS name via server parameter with the
remainder of the name obtained from the domain name option in the
DHCP response.

Specify an ip address in option 160 in the DHCP response.

Specify DNS name in option 161 in the DHCP response.
The easiest way is to specify an IP address is to set the ip_ab parameter is with
the command:
set airb ip_ab a.b.c.d
where a.b.c.d is the ip address of the FTP. The default value is 192.168.0.201
