If updating the access point manually, configure the Update Firmware fields as required
to set a filename and target firmware file upload location for firmware updates.
4. Specify the name of the target firmware file within the Filename field.
Enable Automatic
Firmware Update
Enable this checkbox to allow an automatic firmware update when
firmware versions are found to be different between what is
running on the access point and the firmware that resides on the
server. A firmware update will only occur if the access point is reset
or when the access point does a DHCP request.
This feature is used in conjunction with DHCP/BootP options
configured on a DHCP or BootP server. For more information, see
Usage Scenarios on page B-1.
If this checkbox is not enabled, the firmware update is required to
be conducted manually.
Enable Automatic
Configuration Update
Select this checkbox to allow an automatic configuration update
when the configuration filenames are found to be different
between the filename loaded on the access point and the
configuration filename that resides on the server or when the
configuration file versions are found to be different between the
configuration file version loaded on the access point and the
configuration file that resides on server. A configuration update
will only occur if the access point is reset or when the access point
does a DHCP request.
This feature is used in conjunction with DHCP/BootP options
configured on a DHCP or BootP server. For more information, see
Usage Scenarios on page B-1.
If this checkbox is not enabled, the configuration update is required
to be done manually.
CAUTION If using a Linux server configured to support the BootP “bf” option, an
automatic firmware update is not be triggered unless both the Enable
Automatic Firmware Update and Enable Automatic
Configuration Update options are selected. If the Configuration
Update option is disabled, the access point will not download the
configuration file. Without the configuration file, the access point
cannot parse for the firmware file name required to trigger the
firmware update.
