The Upload button will then become enabled. Click Upload to start uploading the file to the Access Point. The APMS and the AP’s built-in Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) command will upload the new executable into the AP’s flash memory area. If the upload activity fails, an error message will be shown on the message box.

Resetting the AP will take about 30 seconds. During this time, the APMS program will not be able to query the AP via the SNMP protocol and the AP will not be available to other stations. If you try to access it, the APMS program will display a “No response from the AP” message.

When the file transfer is complete, click OK to close the window.

Prior to exiting the APMS program, or selecting a different AP, click the Reset AP menu item. A confirmation window will open. Click OK to reset the AP or Cancel to abort the reset command.
