SECTION 5 " Software Download

Get

Use Get on an access point client to download software from a TFTP server (a PC or another access point). The format is:

File>tftp get <ip address> <foreign file name> <local file name>

"<ip address> is the IP address of the server (or “*” which indicates the value of the ServerIpAddress variable, described later in this section).

"<foreign file name> is the name of the file to get from the server. The file name can contain directory path information and must be in the format required by the server’s operating system.

The file must have an appropriate 29K file header. Boot files and data files are normally delivered with the proper file header attached, but script files you create must have the file header appended before transfer to an access point.

"<local file name> is the name of the file to be stored in the access point. The name must include a segment number or name followed by a colon and an optional file name. If only the segment name is supplied, the file name is set equal to the file name embedded in the file header.

EXAMPLE 1: This command line gets file USTART29.BIN from a directory on a PC server with IP address 1.2.3.4, and stores the file in the access point’s inactive boot segment:

File>tftp get 1.2.3.4 c:\flash\ap\ustart29.BIN ib:

EXAMPLE 2: This command line gets file USTART29.BIN from segment 2 on the access point server with IP address 1.2.3.4, and puts the file in segment 1 on the access point client:

File>tftp get 1.2.3.4 2:ustart29.bin 1:
