Upgrading Firmware by TFTP

When using TFTP as the firmware management protocol, you can configure settings for the AP’s TFTP client to communicate with a TFTP server. If the TFTP client does not get a response from the TFTP server within a period specified by the Timeout setting, it will resend the previous request. The Max number of retries setting specifies the maximum number of resends before the TFTP client stops communicating with the TFTP server.

To upgrade the NI WAP-3701/3711’s firmware by TFTP:

1.Prepare a computer that will be used as a TFTP server and as a managing computer to trigger the upgrade process.

2.Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch port with a normal Ethernet cable.

3.Configure the IP address of the computer so that the NI WAP-3701/3711 and the computer are on the same IP subnet.
