• ObtaintheIPaddressoftheFTPorTFTPserverwheretheaccesspointsoftwareisstored.
•Verifythattheimageisintheappropriatedirectoryontheserver.

portto
whichitisattached,withthesameVLANID.Ifyouaremanagingtheaccess pointfroma
wirelessclient,theVLANIDforthewirelessclientmustbeconfiguredonaRADIUSserver.
