Nokia A032 Advanced User Guide
The Nokia A032 memory is organized into four
parts:
• System BIOS – The system BIOS performs
diagnostic checks after powerup and is the
basic brains of the unit.
• Main firmware (called img1) – The main
firmware is the software which performs the
access point functions. When you upgrade
the Nokia A032, this software can be
overwritten using a special procedure.
• Log file, NID and Bridge name storage – The
Log file keeps track of system information
each time the unit is started. Information
entered using the
nid add or bridge add
commands is also stored in this portion.
• Configuration information – This stores all
the current operating parameters.
Using the Nokia Access Point Upgrade utility,
you can upgrade the firmware and the BIOS. It
is important to note that upgrade is not a
required operation – in fact most users will not
need to upgrade the unit.

Upgrading the system BIOS should only be
done on instructions from Nokia or your dealer.
