Software User Manual 12/10/09 D-Link UAP REBOOTING THE ACCESS POINT For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the Reboot button on the Configuration page. UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE As new versions of the UAP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for firmware upgrades. You can also use HTTP to perform firmware upgrades. Note: When you upgrade the firmware, the access point retains the existing configuration information. Use the following steps to upgrade the firmware on an access point by using TFTP: 1. Click the Upgrade tab in the Maintenance section of the navigation tree. This page is also accessible from Tools > Upgrade menu on the main menu bar. Information about the current firmware version is displayed and an option to upgrade a new firmware image is provided. 2. Make sure the Use TFTP to upload the file check box is selected. 3. Enter a name for the image file in the New Firmware Image field, including the path to the directory that contains the image to upload. For example, to upload the ap_upgrade.tar image located in the /share/builds/ap directory, enter /share/builds/ap/ ap_upgrade.tar in the New Firmware Image field. The firmware upgrade file supplied must be a tar file. Do not attempt to use bin files or files of other formats for the upgrade; these types of files will not work. 4. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server. 5. Click Upgrade. Upon clicking Upgrade for the firmware upgrade, a popup confirmation window is displayed that describes the upgrade process. 34CSFP6XXUAP-SWUM100-D13 Upgrading the Firmware Page 85
