Fig. 28. TFTP Server.
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 AP 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 wireless AP 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 AP unstartable. When
this occurs, call for technical support.
TIP:
If you want to remotely upgrade the firmware of a deployed AP from the Internet,
adjust the
Timeout
and
Max no. of retries
settings of TFTP Server for remote TFTP
upgrade to succeed.
