14.3.1 Example of Firmware Upload Using FTP
This procedure requires the NWA/WAC’s firmware. Download the firmware package from
www.zyxel.com and unzip it. The firmware file uses a .bin extension, for example,
"420AAHY1C0.bin". Do the following after you have obtained the firmware file.
1 Connect your computer to the NWA/WAC.
2 The FTP server IP address of the NWA/WAC in standalone AP mode is 192.168.1.2, so set your
computer to use a static IP address from 192.168.1.3 ~192.168.1.254.
3 Use an FTP client on your computer to connect to the NWA/WAC. For example, in the Windows
command prompt, type ftp 192.168.1.2. Keep the console session connected in order to see
when the firmware recovery finishes.
4 Enter your user name when prompted.
5 Enter your password as requested.
6 Enter “hash” for FTP to print a `#' character for every 1024 bytes of data you upload so that you
can watch the file transfer progress.
7 Enter “bin” to set the transfer mode to binary.
8 Transfer the firmware file from your computer to the NWA/WAC. Type put followed by the path and
name of the firmware file. This examples uses put C:\ftproot\NWA/WAC_FW\420AAHY1C0.bin.
9 Wait for the file transfer to complete.
10 Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt.
14.4 Shell Script
Use shell script files to have the NWA/WAC use commands that you specify. Use a text editor to
create the shell script files. They must use a “.zysh” filename extension.
C:\>ftp 192.168.1.2
