3.3.3 Managing Firmware
Fig. 22. Firmware management protocol setting.
Firmware management operations for the AP include
firmware upgrade
,
configuration
backup
,
configuration restore
, and
configuration reset
. Firmware upgrade, configuration
backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP or TFTP. The
HTTP-based way is suggested because it’s more user friendly. However, due to differ-
ent behavior of different Web browser types and versions, HTTP-based firmware man-
agement operations may not work properly with some Web browsers. If you cannot suc-
cessfully perform HTTP-based firmware management operations with your Web
browser, try the TFTP-based way.
TIP:
You can use Upgrade Wizard of Wireless Network Manager to upgrade firmware.
See the on-line help of Wireless Network Manager for more information.
