Downloading Access Point Software
■ The access point is properly connected to your network and has already
been configured with a compatible IP address and subnet mask.
Before you use the procedure, do the following:
■ Store or locate the access point software file on the local computer (for
example, hp420-2022.bin).
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 locally on a
management station using the access point’s web interface.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Software Upgrade Local: Downloads an operation code image file from
the web management station to the access point using HTTP. Use the
Browse button to locate the image file locally on the management station
and click Start Upgrade to proceed.
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 files on the access point is 32 characters. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z,
0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
■ Restore Factory Settings: Click the Restore button to reset the access
point’s configuration settings to the factory defaults and reboot the
system.
■ Reset Access Point: Click the Reset button to reboot the system.
To Download New Code:
1. Select the Administration tab.
2. Click the [Software Upgrade] button.
3. Under Software Upgrade Local, in the text field New Software File, specify
the path and file name of the software code on the local computer. You
can use the [Browse] button to find the file.
4. Click the [Start Upgrade] button.
5. When the download is complete, restart the access point by clicking on
the [Reboot] button. Alternatively, you can reset the access point defaults
and reboot the system by clicking on the [Reset] button.
