These options can be used to update newer firmware and configuration files on the
access point. For more information on how to configure a DHCP or BootP Server for the
automatic upgrade process, see

The update is conducted over the LAN or WAN port depending on which server responds
first to the access point’s request for an automatic update.
If updating the access point manually, configure the Update Firmware fields as required
to set a filename and target firmware file upload location for firmware updates.
4. Specify the name of the target firmware file within the Filename field.
5. If the target firmware file resides within a directory, specify a complete path for the file
within the
Filepath(optional) field.

names are supported, no DNS can be used.

Firmware Update Enable this checkbox to allow an automatic firmware update when
firmware versions are found to be different between what is
running on the access point and the firmware that resides on the
server. A firmware update will only occur if the access point is reset
or when the access point does a DHCP request.
This feature is used in conjunction with DHCP/BootP options
configured on a DHCP or BootP server. For more information, see
Usage Scenarios on page B-1 .
If this checkbox is not enabled, the firmware update is required to
be done manually.

Configuration Update Select this checkbox to allow an automatic configuration update
when the configuration filenames are found to be different
between the filename loaded on the access point and the
configuration filename that resides on the server or when the
configuration file versions are found to be different between the
configuration file version loaded on the access point and the
configuration file that resides on server. A configuration update
will only occur if the access point is reset or when the access point
does a DHCP request.
This feature is used in conjunction with DHCP/BootP options
configured on a DHCP or BootP server. For more information, see
Usage Scenarios on page B-1 .
If this checkbox is not enabled, the configuration update is required
