Upgrading the Firmware 91 ■ Broadcast - Broadcast traps to the network, making them available on any computer on the network ■ Send to - Send only to the specified computer. If you select this option, you also need to type the IP address of the computer. 8 In Trap Version, select the version that is supported by your SNMP server. 9 Click Save. Upgrading the Firmware The upgrade function allows you to install on the Access Point any new firmware releases that 3Com may make available. To install the new firmware, you first need to download the firmware from the 3Com support Web site to the admin computer. Although the upgrade process has been designed to preserve your configuration settings, 3Com recommends that you make a backup of the configuration beforehand, in case the upgrade process fails for any reason. For example, if the connection between the computer and the Access Point is lost while the new software is being copied to the Access Point, your configuration settings may be erased. After downloading the firmware upgrade to the admin computer, do the following to upgrade the firmware on the Access Point: 1 Start the Web interface. 2 On the menu, click Management. 3 Click the Upgrade Firmware tab. 4 Click Browse, and then locate and select the firmware upgrade you downloaded. Figure 50 Click Browse to Select the Firmware Upgrade 5 Click OK. The Access Point installs the firmware upgrade. When upgrade is complete, the Access Point restarts itself.
