Upgrading the Firmware
As new versions of the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point firmware
become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take
advantages of new features and enhancements.
Caution
Do not upgrade the firmware from a wireless client that is associated
with the access point you are upgrading. Doing so causes the
upgrade to fail. Furthermore, all wireless clients are disassociated
and no new associations are allowed.
If you encounter this scenario, the solution is to use a wired client to
gain access to the access point:
- Create a wired Ethernet connection from a PC to the access point.
- Start the AT-WA7400 Management Software.
- Repeat the upgrade process using the wired client.
Note
You must upgrade each access point; you cannot upgrade firmware
automatically across the cluster.
Keep in mind that a successful firmware upgrade restores the
access point configuration to the factory defaults. (See Appendix A,
“Management Software Default Settings” on page 215.)
To upgrade the firmware on a particular access point, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the main menu of the access point you want to upgrade, select
Advanced > Upgrade.
