Browser TFTP Interface

The TFTP interface allows you to use a TFTP server on a network device to load the access point image

file. Follow these instructions to use a TFTP server:

Step1 Open your Internet browser.

Note The access point web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer

version 6.0 on Windows 98 and 2000 platforms and with Netscape version 7.0 on Windows 98,

Windows 2000, and Solaris platforms.

Note When using the access point browser interface, you should disable your browser pop-up blocker.

Step2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network

Password page displays.

Step3 At the prompt, enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the

default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive. The Summary Status page

displays.

Step4 Click the System Software tab and then click Software Upgrade. The HTTP Upgrade page displays.

Step5 Click the TFTP Upgrade tab.

Step6 Enter the IP address for the TFTP server in the TFTP Server field.

Step7 Enter the file name for the access point image file (such as c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JA.tar) in the Upload

New System Image Tar File field. If the file is located in a subdirectory of the TFTP server root directory,

include the relative path of the TFTP server root directory with the filename. If the file is located in the

TFTP root directory, enter only the filename.

Step8 Click the Upload button.

Step9 When a message displays that indicates the upgrade is complete, click OK.

For additional information click the Help icon on the Software Upgrade page.
