AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 Installation and User’s Guide

Several of these commands require that you enter filenames. To indicate the segment where the file is located, you precede the filename with either a segment number or name followed by a colon. For example, 1:ap824x.prg refers to the AP824X.PRG file is located in segment 1.

For details about using segment numbers and names for an access point, which contains only one flash memory segment, see “Understanding the Access Point Segments” on page 264.

FB

Purpose: Makes an inactive segment the active segment. Because the AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 have only one flash memory segment, this command has no affect on the access points. This command is included here for backward compatibility with older scripts only.

Syntax: FB bootsegment datasegment

where:

bootsegment is the name or number of the boot segment to be activated.

datasegment is the name or number of the data segment to be activated.

Example: These examples apply to non-AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 products and are included for your reference only.

To make segment 2 the active boot segment and segment 4 the active data segment, enter:

FB 2 4

You can use an asterisk instead of a segment name if you want to leave that segment unchanged. For example, to leave the active boot segment unchanged and make segment 4 the active data segment, you could enter:

FB * 4

After loading software into the access point a common task is to activate the new software. To activate the new software, enter:

FB IB: ID:

This command activates the inactive boot and data segments. You do not need to know which of the boot and data segment numbers the flash is loaded into.
