Commands

In This Chapter

This chapter describes the commands that can be issued using the Access Point’s Web browser interface (that is, the

options accessible after clicking the Commands button).

•Download: Download files from a TFTP server to the Access Point.

•Upload: Upload files from the Access Point to a TFTP server.

•Reboot: Reboot the Access Point in the specified number of seconds.

•Reset: Reset all of the Access Point’s configuration settings to factory defaults.

•Help Link: Configure the location where the Access Point’s Help files can be found.

NOTE

See Logging into the Web Interface for instructions on how to access the AP’s Web browser interface.

Download

Use the Download tab to download AP Image, Bootloader, Configuration, and Generic files from a TFTP server to the

Access Point.

NOTE

The Download and Upload commands are from the AP’s perspective. In other words, to send files to the AP,

use the Download command; to obtain files from the AP, use the Upload command.

A TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory containing the file. If you don’t have a TFTP

server installed on your system, install the TFTP server from the ORiNOCO CD. You can either install the TFTP server

from the CD Wizard or run OEM-TFTP-Server.exe found in the CD’s Xtras/SolarWinds/ sub-directory.
