3.3.3 Managing Firmware

Fig. 22. Firmware management protocol setting.

Firmware management operations for the AP include firmware upgrade, configuration

backup, configuration restore, and configuration reset. Firmware upgrade, configuration

backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP or TFTP. The

HTTP-based way is suggested because it’s more user friendly. However, due to differ-

ent behavior of different Web browser types and versions, HTTP-based firmware man-

agement operations may not work properly with some Web browsers. If you cannot suc-

cessfully perform HTTP-based firmware management operations with your Web

browser, try the TFTP-based way.

TIP: You can use Upgrade Wizard of Wireless Network Manager to upgrade firmware.

See the on-line help of Wireless Network Manager for more information.

3.3.3.1 Upgrading Firmware by HTTP

Fig. 23. Firmware upgrade by HTTP.

To upgrade firmware of the AP by HTTP:

1. Click Browse and then select a correct firmware .bin file. The firmware file path will

be shown in the Firmware file name text box.

2. Click Upgrade to begin the upgrade process.
