Appendix A - Software Version Loading Using TFTP

Firmware upgrades to the unit's FLASH memory can be performed by a simple loading procedure using a TFTP application. Before performing an upgrade procedure, be sure you have the correct files and most recent instructions.

Upgrade packages can be obtained from the Technical Support section of Alvarion's web site, http://www.alvarion.com/.

CAUTION

Shutting down power to the unit before completion of the loading procedure may cause the unit to be inoperable.

To load software versions:

1Verify that IP connectivity to the required unit is established.

2Ensure that the IP address of the PC from which the upgrade is to be performed belongs to the same subnet as the unit to be upgraded, unless the unit is behind a router. If the unit is behind a router, verify that the unit is configured with the correct Default Gateway Address.

3To view the current IP parameters of the unit, use the Monitor program by connecting the PC to the unit either directly or via Telnet. To access the IP parameters via the Monitor program:

a From the Main Menu select 1 - Info Screens.

b From the Info Screen menu select 2 - Show Basic Configuration. The current basic configuration is displayed, including the run time values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address parameters.

4To modify any of the IP parameters:

a From the Main Menu, select 3 - Basic Configuration. b To configure the IP address, select: 1 - IP Address.

c To configure the subnet mask, select 2 - Subnet Mask.

d To configure the default gateway address, select 3 - Default Gateway Address.

e Reset the unit to apply the new IP parameters.

5To verify the connection, PING the unit's IP address and verify that PING replies are being received.

6Use the TFTP utility, with the following syntax, to perform the upgrade: tftp -i hostaddress put sourcefile [destinationfile]

where -iis for binary mode and hostaddress is the IP address of the unit to be upgraded. put causes the PC client to send a file to the hostaddress.
