8. Trigger the firmware upgrade process by clicking Upgrade.

Fig. 28. TFTP Server.

NOTE: After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the

working folder within which the downloaded firmware files reside.

NOTE: Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.

NOTE: The LAN IP address of the AP and the IP address of the TFTP server must be in

the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.

NOTE: Due to the unreliable nature of wireless media, it’s highly recommended that the

TFTP server and the to-be-upgraded wireless AP be connected by Ethernet, and on the

same LAN, so that the upgrade process would be smooth.

NOTE: After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web

browser cache, so that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.

NOTE: A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the AP unstartable. When

this occurs, call for technical support.

TIP: If you want to remotely upgrade the firmware of a deployed AP from the Internet,

adjust the Timeout and Max no. of retries settings of TFTP Server for remote TFTP

upgrade to succeed.
