SECTION 5 " Software Download

"As a server, the access point can service read and write requests from an access point client. To operate as a TFTP server, the access point must be loaded with these software versions:

"ROM version 1.13 or greater

"FLASH (USTART29.BIN) version 1.23 or greater

"As a client, the access point can read files from and write files to any TFTP server on the network. The client always requests octet mode.

In general, TFTP client sessions should fail only if the server is not responding because it is busy serving other clients or because it has not been started. In either case, the access point back-off algorithm should prevent excessive network traffic when many access points are trying to contact a TFTP server. When you type TFTP client commands at the command line, the access point does not retry failed transfers.

"NOTE: Near the end of this section is a detailed example of how to use TFTP to upgrade an access point with a new version of FLASH. The example incorporates most of the TFTP commands.
