For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the Reboot

UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
As new versions of the UAP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take advantage
of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for firmware upgrades. You can also use HTTP to perform
firmware upgrades.
Use the following steps to upgrade the firmware on an access point by using TFTP:
1. Click the Upgrade tab in the Maintenance section of the navigation tree. This page is also accessible from Tools >
Upgrade menu on the main menu bar.
Information about the current firmware version is displayed and an option to upgrade a new firmware image is provided.
2. Make sure the Use TFTP to upload the file check box is selected.
3. Enter a name for the image file in the New Firmware Image field, including the path to the directory that contains the
image to upload.
For example, to upload the
ap_upgrade.tar
image located in the
/share/builds/ap
directory, enter
/share/builds/ap/
ap_upgrade.tar
in the New Firmware Image field.
The firmware upgrade file supplied must be a
tar
file. Do not attempt to use
bin
files or files of other formats for the
upgrade; these types of files will not work.
4. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server.
5. Click Upgrade.
Upon clicking Upgrade for the firmware upgrade, a popup confirmation window is displayed that describes the upgrade
process.
Note: When you upgrade the firmware, the access point retains the existing configuration information.
