Upgrading Firmware
You can upgrade new wireless bridge software from a local file on the management
workstation, or from an FTP or TFTP server.
After upgrading new software, you must reboot the wireless bridge to implement the
new code. Until a reboot occurs, the wireless bridge will continue to run the software
it was using before the upgrade started. Also note that rebooting the wireless bridge
with new software will reset the configuration to the factory default settings.
Note: Before upgrading your wireless bridge software, it is recommended to save a
copy of the current configuration file. See “copy” on page 6-28 for information
on saving the configuration file to a TFTP or FTP server.
Before upgrading new software, verify that the wireless bridge 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 wireless bridge
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.
Current version – Version number of runtime code.
