Reloading the Access Point
Image

If the wireless device has a firmware failure, you must reload the image file by
using the web browser interface or by pressing and holding the MODE button
for around 30 seconds. You can use the browser interface if the wireless device
firmware is still fully operational and you want to upgrade the firmware image.
However, you can use the MODE button when the access point has a corrupt
firmware image. In this case, you must reload the image file by using CLI through
a Telnet or console port connection.

Using the HTTP Interface

You can also use the Web browser interface to reload the wireless device image
file. The Web browser interface supports loading the image file by using HTTP
or TFTP interfaces.

The HTTP interface enables you to browse to the wireless device image file on
your computer and download the image to the wireless device. Follow the
instructions below to use the HTTP interface:

1. Open your Internet browser.

You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6.x or later) or
Netscape Navigator (version 7.x).

2. Enter the wireless device’s IP address in the browser address line and press

Enter.

An Enter Network Password screen appears.

3. Enter your username, password and press Enter.

TIP

Your wireless device configuration does not change when you use the browser
to reload the image file.
