If too many wireless handsets are attempting to download new firmware simultaneously, the downloads can slow down or error messages can be returned. To reduce the number of retries and error messages, manage the download process by staggering the times the wireless handsets download the firmware.

The TFTP Server must be capable of supporting multiple TFTP sessions.

Nortel Networks has tested the following TFTP Servers. They are listed in order of preference.

WLAN Handset 2210/2211 firmware upgrade

Assuming the IP address of the TFTP Server has been configured on the

WLAN Handsets 2210/2211, each time a WLAN handset is powered on, the following occurs:

1The WLAN handset checks its version of firmware against the firmware on the TFTP Server, which takes less than two seconds on a quiet network.

2If the firmware versions are different, the WLAN handset downloads the new firmware from the TFTP Server. This process takes about 30 seconds.

3If the TFTP Server is offline or unreachable, the WLAN handset tries for about ten seconds before giving up and using its existing version of firmware.

DHCP Server

For detailed DHCP Server instructions, refer to the Configuring DHCP chapter of the Programming Operations Guide (N0008589).

DHCP is a standardized protocol that enables clients to be dynamically assigned with various configuration parameters, such as:

IP address

subnet mask

default Gateway

other critical network configuration information

DHCP Servers centrally manage such configuration data, and are configured by network administrators with settings that are appropriate for a given network environment.
