Motorola AP-51XX - Manual (Page 143)

System Configuration 4-51
If a firmware update is required, use the Firmware Update screen to specify a filename and define
a file location for updating the firmware.
To conduct a firmware update on the access point:
1. Export the access point current configuration settings before updating the firmware to have
the most recent settings available after the firmware is updated.
Refer to Importing/Exporting Configurations on page 4-44 for instructions on exporting the
access point’s current configuration to have it available after the firmware is updated.
2. Select System Configuration - > Firmware Update from the access point menu tree.
CAUTION Loaded and signed CA certificates will be lost when changing the
access point’s firmware version using either the GUI or CLI. After a
certificate has been successfully loaded, export it to a secure location
to ensure its availability after a firmware update.
If restoring the access point’s factory default firmware, you must
export the certificate file BEFORE restoring the access point’s factory
default configuration. Import the file back after the updated firmware
is installed. For information on using the access point CLI to import
and export the access point’s configuration, see
AP51xx>admin(system.cmgr)> impcert on page 8-167 and
AP51xx>admin(system.cmgr)> expcert on page 8-166 .
NOTE The firmware file must be available from an FTP or TFTP site to perform
the update.
CAUTION Make sure a copy of the access point’s configuration is exported
before updating the firmware.
