P r e r e q u i s i t e s
There are four, prerequisite tasks to performing a
MediaWall V
AP firmware update:
1.
Setting up a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server:
Many commercial and open-
source server software products give you the ability to set up an FTP server. There
are also a number of low- or no-cost, stand-alone FTP server solutions that you
can deploy on your network. Seek guidance from your IT department or other
knowledgeable source if you are unsure how to go about this.
2.
Obtaining updated AP firmware from RGB Spectrum:

3.
Putting the firmware file on your FTP server:
The
MediaWall V
AP firmware
update is packaged as a single archive file. (As of this writing, the file is called
SWAP_Package.7z
.) During the update process, the
MediaWall V
extracts the
individual files from the archive and copies them to their correct location.
4.
Obtaining FTP server login information:
Consult with whomever set up the FTP
server for the user name/password, server address, FTP port (usually 21), and
path to the firmware file to download.
