Chapter 13: System Administration Menu

This chapter describes the items about System Administration page. If you don’t know how to enter

configuration screen, chapter 4 describes how to do it.

13.1 System Upgrade

Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for System Administration – Firmware Upgrade to enter

this page. It provides the ability to upload to the WH-9000MESH device’s firmware as they become

available. When a new upgrade file becomes available, you can do a firmware upgrade from the

Firmware Upgrade window.

There is also a configuration file transfer option which allows the system configuration file from one AP

to be transferred to another AP, in order to minimize the administration of the APs. Only configuration

parameters that can be shared between APs are downloaded in the configuration file. WAN IP address

and hostname are not transferred in the configuration file. Click on the Local Configuration Upgrade

and Remote Configuration Upgrade tabs to perform file transfers. Only the Crypto Officer role can

access this function.

13.1.1 Firmware Upgrade

On the System Administration – System Upgrade screen, the Firmware Upgrade tab is the default

view.

Click browse and select the firmware file to be uploaded. Click on the Upload Firmware button.

13.1.2 Location Configuration Upgrade

On the System Administration – System Upgrade screen, click on the Local Configuration

Upgrade tab to upload and download configuration files to APs connected to the network.

To upload a configuration file, select the file using the browse button and enter the passphrase for that

file. The passphrase protects the file from unauthorized users. It prevents unauthorized user from

applying the system configuration file to an unauthorized AP to gain access to the network. Before

downloading the system configuration file to a local computer, the use must enter a passphrase to

protect the file. Before the system configuration file can be uploaded onto another AP, the passphrase

must be entered on the remote AP.
