This appendix describes how to manually update the firmware in your
SkyExtender DualBand access point.
1
Use FTP client software to download the firmware image from the SkyPilot
FTP site to a host computer.
The image file is available on the FTP site as a binary file that you can identify
by the prefix and version number in its name—for example,
SkyAP.2.0.16.bin
.
The image file for the access point is distinct from the binary version of the
image file used by the SkyExtender component, which uses a different
prefix—for example,
SkyExt.2.0.16.bin
.
2
After downloading the binary file, rename it
firmware.img
.
Note
The access point can load an image file only if it is named
firmware.img
.
3
Obtain the IP address of the SkyExtender DualBand access point.
Open an IP connection between the host computer running an FTP client
and the SkyExtender DualBand connected to the SkyPilot wireless mesh
network.
See Chapter 5, “Using the Access Point Configuration
Tool,” for instructions
on using an IP connection or Wi-Fi connection to get the IP address of the
access point.
