The upgrade process may take several minutes during which time the access
point will be unavailable. Do not power down the access point while the upgrade
is in process. When the upgrade is complete, the access point restarts. The
access point resumes normal operation with the same configuration settings it
had before the upgrade.

STEP 7

To verify that the software upgrade completed successfully, check the software
version shown on the

Software Upgrade

tab (and also on the

Summary

section).

If the upgrade was successful, the updated version name or number is indicated.

Upgrading the Software by Using HTTP

Use the following steps to upgrade the software on an access point by using
HTTP:

STEP 1

Clear the

Upload Method TFTP

option.

When you clear the radio button, the Server IP field is disabled.

STEP 2

If you know the path to the

New Software Image

file, enter it in the

New Software

Image

field. Otherwise, click the

Browse

button and locate the software image

file.

The software upgrade file supplied must be a

tar

file. Do not attempt to use

bin

files or files of other formats for the upgrade; these types of files will not work.

STEP 3

Click

Upgrade

to apply the new software image.

Upon clicking

Upgrade

for the software upgrade, a popup confirmation window is

displayed that describes the upgrade process.

STEP 4

Click

OK

to confirm the upgrade and start the process.

NOTE

The software upgrade process begins when you click Upgrade and then

OK

in the

popup confirmation window.

The upgrade process might take several minutes during which time the access
point will be unavailable. Do not power down the access point while the upgrade
is in progress. When the upgrade is complete, the access point restarts. The
access point resumes normal operation with the same configuration settings it
had before the upgrade.
