Wireless Array

Using Tools on the Wireless Array 373

This window allows you to manage files for software images, configuration, and

Web Page Redirect (WPR), manage the system’s configuration parameters, reboot

the system, and use diagnostic tools.

About Licensing and Upgrades

The Array’s license determines some of the features that are available on the

Array. For example, the Application Control feature is an option that must be

separately licensed. To check the features supported by your license, see “Array

Information” on page 98.

If you are using XMS Cloud, then obtaining Array licenses and upgrading

software images is taken care of for you automatically.

When upgrading the Array for a new major release, the Array needs the new

license key that enables the operation of that release before upgrading. If you do

not obtain the new license first, the Array will display a message and revert to the

previous software image, rather than trying to run new software for which it is

not licensed. Major releases will need a new license key, but minor releases will

not. For example, to upgrade from ArrayOS Release 6.0.5 to Release 6.1, you must

enter a new license key. To upgrade from ArrayOS Release 6.0.1 to Release 6.0.3,

use your existing license key.

If you are not an XMS Cloud customer (licenses are automatically updated) or an

XMS customer who has set up a network wide update, you may use the Auto-

provisioning Start button to get an updated license from Xirrus before

performing an upgrade.

If you will be entering license keys and performing upgrades on many Arrays, the

effort will be streamlined by using the Xirrus Management System (XMS),

especially if you are using XMS Cloud.
