WAN port depending on which server responds first to the access point’s request for an automatic
update.
The firmware is automatically updated each time firmware versions are found to be different
between what is running on the access point and the firmware file that resides on the server. The
configuration file is automatically applied when the configuration filename is found to be different
between what resides on the access point and the filename residing on the server or when the
configuration version is found to be different between what resides on the access point and the
configuration version residing on the server.
The configuration version can be modified in the text file to cause the configuration to be applied
when required. The parameter name in the file is "cfg-version-1.1-01". The access point only checks
the two characters after the third hyphen (01) when making a comparison. Change the last two
characters to update the configuration. The two characters can be alpha-numeric.
