[Device name]>
set tftpipaddr <TFTP Server IP Address>
[Device name]> set tftpfilename <AP Image File Name, including file extension>
[Device name]> set ipgw <Gateway IP Address>
[Device name]>
show ip
(to confirm your new settings)
[Device name]>
show tftp
(to confirm your new settings)
[Device name]>
reboot 0
Example:
[Device name]>
set ipaddrtype static
[Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
[Device name]> set ipsubmask 255.255.255.0
[Device name]>
set tftpipaddr 10.0.0.20
[Device name]>
set tftpfilename MyImage.bin
[Device name]>
set ipgw 10.0.0.30
[Device name]>
show ip
[Device name]>
show tftp
[Device name]>
reboot 0
Result: The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few seconds within the
TFTP server’s status screen.

Setting IP Address using Serial Port
Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically provides the AP IP
address.
Hardware and Software Requirements
•
Standard straight-through serial data (RS-232) cable with a one male DB-9 connector and one female DB-9 connector. The AP comes
with a female 9-pin serial port.
•
ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
Attaching the Serial Port Cable
1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your computer.
2. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.
Initializing the IP Address using CLI
After installing the serial port cable, you may use the CLI to communicate with the AP. CLI supports most generic terminal emulation
programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included with the Windows operating systems). In addition, many web sites offer shareware or
commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address has been assigned, you can use the HTTP interface or the CLI over
Telnet to complete configuration.
