Field
Description
Server Address
Enter the IP address of the host where the upgrade file is located. The host must have a
TFTP server installed and running.
File Path
Enter the file path on the TFTP server where the software is located. You may enter up
to 96 characters.
File Name
Enter the name of the upgrade file. You may enter up to 32 characters, and the file
extension .tar must be included.
Group Size
When you upgrade multiple APs, each AP contacts the TFTP server to download the
upgrade file. To prevent the TFTP server from being overloaded, you can limit the
number of APs to be upgraded at a time.
In the Group Size field, enter the number of APs that can be upgraded at the same time.
When one group completes the upgrade, the next group begins the process.
Image Download Type
Type of the image to be downloaded, which can be one of the following:
• All Images
• DWL-8600AP
• DWL-3600AP/ DWL-6600AP
• DWL-2600AP
• DWL-8610AP
Note
: To download all images, make sure you specify the file path and file name for both
images in the appropriate File Path and File Name fields.
Managed AP
The list shows all the APs that the controller manages. If the controller is the Cluster
Controller, then the list shows the APs managed by all controllers in the cluster.
Each AP is identified by its MAC address, IP address, and Location in the <MAC ‐ IP ‐
Location> format. To upgrade a single AP, select the AP MAC address from the drop
down list. To upgrade all APs, select
All
from the top of the list. If
All
is selected, the
Group Size field will limit the number of simultaneous AP upgrades in order not to
overwhelm the TFTP server. To select multiple APs to upgrade, CTRL + click the APs to
upgrade.
Note
: D‐Link recommends that you upgrade all managed APs at the same time.
