Wireless Access Point
Using Tools on the Wireless AP 413
x, your license will be updated for you automatically; with other XMS
versions, you can easily upgrade all members of a profile network to a
new ArrayOS release. See “About Licensing and Upgrades” on page 410
for details. Click the Choose File button to locate the software upgrade
file, then click on the Upload button to upload the new file to the AP.
Progress of the operation will be displayed in a progress bar. Completion
status of the operation is shown in the Status section.
This operation does not run the new software or change any configured
values. The existing software continues to run on the AP until you reboot,
at which time the uploaded software will be used. An upgrade will,
however, automatically save a copy of the current configuration of the
AP. See Step 3 on page 416.
2. Active Software Image: Use the Set Active Image drop-down list to
display all of the software versions that are on your AP. Select the version
from the list that you would like to become the active version the next
time that you reboot.
3. Save & Reboot or Reboot: Use Save & Reboot to save the current
configuration and then reboot the AP. The AP will reboot using the
software version that you have selected in Active Software Image, above.
The LEDs on the AP indicate the progress of the reboot, as described in
“Powering Up the Wireless AP” on page 72. Alternatively, use the Reboot
button to discard any configuration changes which have not been saved
since the last reboot. You may specify an optional Delay period in
seconds to wait before the reboot starts.
If you have difficulty upgrading the AP using the WMI, see “Upgrading
the AP Using the Boot Loader” on page 533 for a lower-level procedure
you may use.
Software Upgrade always uploads the file in binary mode. If you transfer
any image file to your computer to have it available for the Software Upgrade
command, it is critical to remember to transfer it (ftp, tftp) in binary mode!
