NOTE:
After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the working
folder within which the downloaded firmware files reside.
NOTE:
Make sure the
Accept read requests
check box of TFTP Server is selected.
NOTE:
The LAN IP address of the WIASA and the IP address of the TFTP server must be in the
same IP subnet for TFTP to work.
NOTE:
Due to the unreliable nature of wireless media, it’s highly recommended that the TFTP server
and the to-be-upgraded WIASA be connected by Ethernet, and on the same LAN, so that the upgrade
process would be smooth.
NOTE:
After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser cache, so
that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.
NOTE:
A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the WIASA unstartable. When this oc-
