Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Autonomous Access Points

Reloading the Access Point Image

Step 10 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web interface, the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS commands.

Web Browser Interface

You can also use the Web browser interface to reload the access point image file. The Web browser interface supports loading the image file using HTTP or TFTP interfaces.

Note Your access point configuration is not changed when using the browser to reload the image file.

Browser HTTP Interface

The HTTP interface enables you to browse to the access point image file on your PC and download the image to the access point. Follow the instructions below to use the HTTP interface:

Step 1 Open your Internet browser.

Note The access point web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 on Windows 98 and 2000 platforms, and with Netscape version 7.0 on Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Solaris platforms.

Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network Password screen appears.

Step 3 At the prompt, enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive. The Summary Status page appears.

Step 4 Click the System Software tab and then click Software Upgrade. The HTTP Upgrade screen appears.

Step 5 Click the Browse button to locate the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JA.tar) on your PC.

Step 6 Click the Upload button.

For additional information, click the Help icon on the Software Upgrade screen.
