Preparing to Download the AP Image

Before starting, you need to know the Access Point’s IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the AP Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image to be downloaded.

Download Procedure

Follow these steps to use ScanTool to download a software image to an Access Point with a missing image:

1.Download the latest software from http://www.avaya.com/support.

2.Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server.

3.Launch ScanTool.

4.Highlight the entry for the AP you want to update and click Change.

5.Set IP Address Type to Static.

NOTE:

You need to assign static IP information temporarily to the Access Point since its DHCP client functionality is not available when no image is installed on the device.

6.Enter an unused IP address that is valid on your network in the IP Address field. You may need to contact your network administrator to get this address.
