File Names

Several file system commands require you to enter file names. You can precede file names by a segment number or name followed by a colon.

EXAMPLE 1: AB:USTART29.BIN refers to the file USTART29.BIN in the active boot segment (segment 1 or 2).

EXAMPLE 2: 1:USTART29.BIN refers to the file USTART29.BIN in segment 1.

If you omit the segment number or segment name, the access point searches the segments in this order until it finds a file matching the file name:

RAM, 1, 2, 3, 4

Downloading Programs

You can download new programs to the access point while it is operating. The unit has two program FLASH directories so that if an issue exists with the download of the new FLASH, the system can reboot to the previous version. An internal timer allows the activation of the new software program to be immediate or activated at a later time.

File Menu Commands

Commands for software download and other processes are located on the File Menu. To display the commands, type the following at the Main Menu prompt:
