Chapter 14: System Administration Menu
This chapter describes the items about System Administration page. If you don’t know how to enter
configuration screen, chapter 4 describes how to do it.
14.1 System Upgrade
Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for System Administration – Firmware Upgrade to enter
this page. It provides the ability to upload to the WH-9100MESH device’s firmware as they become
available. When a new upgrade file becomes available, you can do a firmware upgrade from the
Firmware Upgrade window.
There is also a configuration file transfer option which allows the system configuration file from one AP
to be transferred to another AP, in order to minimize the administration of the APs. Only configuration
parameters that can be shared between APs are downloaded in the configuration file. WAN IP address
and hostname are not transferred in the configuration file. Click on the Local Configuration Upgrade
and Remote Configuration Upgrade tabs to perform file transfers. Only the Crypto Officer role can
access this function.
14.1.1 Firmware Upgrade
On the
System Administration – System Upgrade
screen, the Firmware Upgrade tab is the default
view.
Click browse and select the firmware file to be uploaded. Click on the Upload Firmware button.
14.1.2 Location Configuration Upgrade
On the
System Administration – System Upgrade
screen, click on the
Local Configuration
Upgrade
tab to upload and download configuration files to APs connected to the network.
To upload a configuration file, select the file using the browse button and enter the passphrase for that
file. The passphrase protects the file from unauthorized users. It prevents unauthorized user from
applying the system configuration file to an unauthorized AP to gain access to the network. Before
downloading the system configuration file to a local computer, the use must enter a passphrase to
protect the file. Before the system configuration file can be uploaded onto another AP, the passphrase
must be entered on the remote AP.
