Loading Device Firmware onto AWMS (Optional) Overview of the Device Setup > Upload Files Page AWMS enables automated firmware distribution to the devices on your network. Once you have downloaded the firmware files from the vendor, you can upload this firmware to AWMS for distribution to devices via the Device Setup > Upload Files page. Figure 26 illustrates the Upload Files page, which lists all firmware files on AWMS with file information. This page also enables you to add new firmware files, to delete firmware files, and to add New Web Auth Bundle files. The following additional pages support firmware file information: Firmware files uploaded to AWMS on this Upload File page appear as options in the drop-down menus on the Group > Firmware page and on individual AP/Device > Manage pages.
