Downloading Access Point Software
Before you use the procedure, do the following:
■ Obtain the IP address of the TFTP or FTP server on which the access point
software file has been stored.
■ If VLANs are configured on the access point, determine the name of the
VLAN in which the TFTP or FTP server is operating.
■ Determine the name of the access point software file stored in the TFTP
or FTP server for the access point (for example, hp420-2022.bin).
Not e If your TFTP or FTP server is a Unix workstation, ensure that the case (upper
or lower) that you specify for the filename is the same case as the characters
in the access point software filenames on the server.
Web: TFTP/FTP Software Download to the Access Point
The Software Upgrade window on the Administration tab enables the access
point’s system firmware to be upgraded by downloading a new file to the
access point’s flash memory. The new code file must be stored remotely on an
FTP or TFTP server.
Not e Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the access point can store only two
software code files.

The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Software Upgrade Remote: Downloads an operation code image file
from a specified remote FTP or TFTP server. The success of the file
transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP or TFTP server and the
quality of the network connection.
• New software file: Specifies the name of the code file on the server.
The new software file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the
leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the
maximum length for file names on the FTP/TFTP server is 255 characters
or 32 characters for files on the access point. (Valid characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
