Appendix A: Configuration Download/Upload This appendix describes the method of configuring a large number of BreezeACCESS units at once.
BreezeACCESS Version 4.5 System Manual A-2 The Configuration Download/Upload feature in BreezeACCESS units simplifies the task of remotely configuring a large number of units using TFTP protocol. By downloading the configuration file to a PC it is possible to view all the parameters configured at the unit, as it is a plain text ASCII file. It is necessary to edit the file by a using simple editor and to remove certain parameters or change their values prior to uploading the configuration to another unit.
Appendix B: Software Version Loading Procedure General Firmware upgrades to the unit's FLASH memory are performed by a simple loading procedure using a TFTP application. Before performing an upgrade procedure, be sure you have the correct files and latest instructions. NOTE: Shutting down power to the unit before completion of the loading procedure may cause the unit to be inoperable. Verify that you have IP connectivity to the unit to be loaded with a new version.
BreezeACCESS Version 4.5 System Manual B-2 6. To verify the connection, ping the unit’s IP address. Verify that ping replies are being received. The procedure to be used depends on the unit’s FLASH memory type. Identify the FLASH memory type by using the monitor program, connecting the PC to the unit either directly or via Telnet. From the Main Menu, select 1 – Info Screens. From the Info Screen menu select 1 – Show Unit Status.
Appendix B B-3 NOTE: If you are upgrading a Subscriber Unit which is not associated with an AU, the unit will reset every five minutes (approximately) and the following message will be displayed: FTL: file src\wpscan.c line 262 Too large number of scanning attempts The unit will reset and it will take more than a minute before you can re-establish the connection to it.
