SECTION 5 " Software Download

The first command establishes a TFTP session with the server, gets the script file from the server, and places the file in the RAM file segment, giving it the name “sysswdl.” The second command runs the script from the RAM segment.

The script file should contain the same commands you would use from the command line to erase the appropriate file segments, download the new file(s), and reboot using the new software. To test the script file manually to ensure it functions, log onto an access point and type the script file commands from the command line.

Creating Script Files

Script files are ASCII text files with a 32-byte file system header appended. The total file size including the 32-byte header must be less than the 4096 bytes in order to fit into the RAM file segment.

Each script file line must be fewer than 80 characters and be terminated by a line feed or a carriage return. Only one command is permitted per line. Spaces on a line are insignificant; commands and arguments may be preceded by any number of tabs or spaces as long as the total line length is fewer than 80 characters.

The script files can contain comments, designated by the “#” character. All characters on a line after a “#” are ignored.

Program FHDR29K.EXE appends the file system header to the script file. Assuming the ASCII text script file is named SCRIPT.TXT, the following command line appends the appropriate file header and places the output in file
