TFTP Client Command Retry

When executing a script file, the access point retries TFTP

client commands GET and PUT until the command

completes successfully. If the first attempt to transfer the

file fails, the access point retries after a one-minute delay.

With each successive failure, the retry time doubles until it

reaches 8 minutes. Once this limit is reached, it remains at

8 minutes until the command completes.

Reboot Command

The Reboot command (located on the Main Menu) forces the

access point to restart immediately. If it is issued within a

script file, commands following it are not executed. If used,

Reboot should always be the last command in the file.
Because Reboot causes an immediate reboot before the

script file processing is completed, the software download

status is not updated to accurately reflect the result of the

software download. While this has no adverse effect on

access point operation, you can not tell whether the

download completed successfully without examining the

version numbers of the active boot and data files after the

access point has rebooted.
The preferred method of rebooting after a script file has

completed is to set the next power up time variable. This

should be the last thing the script file does, to allow the

script file processing to complete and the software download

status variable to be updated before the reboot occurs.
