Installing a new image

The VIEW Certified firmware release can be obtained from Motorola ‘Dev Zone’. Upgrading the WS 2000 Wireless Switch to the new firmware can be done through the Web interface or through the command line interface (CLI). Place the image on the FTP server, TFTP server or through Compact Flash card, depending on the file transfer mechanism chosen.

Installing firmware through the CLI

1.Enter your username and password to log into the CLI. The defaults are user: admin password: symbol. The serial interface parameters are 19200,8,n,1,n.

2.Connect the FTP/TFTP server to subnet 1.

a.For TFTP, issue the following commands. admin>

admin>system admin(system)>config admin(system.config)>set server 192.168.0.100

admin(system.config)>set fw file mf_02010100009R.bin admin(system.config)>update tftp s1

b.For FTP, issue the following commands. admin>

admin>system admin(system)>config admin(system.config)>set server 192.168.0.100

admin(system.config)>set fw file mf_02010100009R.bin admin(system.config)>set fw path /home/<user> admin(system.config)>set user <username> admin(system.config)>set passwd <password> admin(system.config)>update ftp s1

3.The WS 2000 Wireless Switch will reboot and load the firmware.
