Upgrading the Access Points

Using a Web

Browser

Interface

For optimal performance, you should install the most current software version on all the access points in your network. To upgrade the software, you must copy the software release to your PC and then upload the release to your root access point and other access points. However, you can also configure the root access point to copy the release to all other access points in its spanning tree.

You can upgrade the access point software using a web browser interface, as explained in the next subsection.

Note

New releases of the firmware for the access point are available for downloading from the Allied Telesyn web site.

You can use a web browser interface to upgrade the access points one at a time. In other words, for each access point you want to upgrade, you will need to establish a web browser session with it, upgrade its software, save the new configuration, and reboot it.

To upgrade the access point software

1.Establish a web browser session with the access point you want to upgrade.

2.From the menu bar, click Upgrade Software. The Upgrade Software screen appears.

3.Enter the path and filename of the upgrade file (AP*WEB.BIN) or click Browse to find the file on your PC. For example, AP21WEB.BIN.
