Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI
To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the
computer on which the TFTP server resides. This can be any computer
on the LAN or connected to the AP with a cross-over Ethernet cable.
You must also connect the AP to a computer with a standard serial cable
and use a terminal client, such as HyperTerminal. From the terminal,
enter CLI Commands to set the IP address and download an AP Image.
Preparing to Download the AP Image
Before starting, you need to know the Access Point’s IP address, subnet
mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the AP Image file name. Make
sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder
containing the image to be downloaded.
Download Procedure
1. Download the latest software from http://www.avaya.com/support .
2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s default
directory.
3. Use a straight-through serial cable to connect the Access Point’s
serial port to your computer’s serial port.
NOTE:
You must remove the Access Point’s cable cover and front cover to
access the serial port.
