2. Enter the HTTP proxy server IP address in the Server text box.
3. Enter the port number in the Port text box.
4. If you do not want the HTTP proxy to be applied for a particular host, click New to enter that IP address or

(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Upgrading a W-IAP Using Automatic Image Check
You can upgrade a W-IAP by using the Automatic Image Check feature. The automatic image checks are
performed once, as soon as the W-IAP boots up and every week thereafter.
If the image check locates a new version of the Instant software on the image server, the New version
available link is displayed on the Instant main window.
If W-AirWave is configured, the automatic image check is disabled.
To check for a new version on the image server in the cloud:
1. Go to Maintenance > Automatic > Check for New Version. After the image check is completed, one of
the following messages is displayed:
n No new version available—If there is no new version available.
n Image server timed out—Connection or session between the image server and the W-IAP is timed out.
n Image server failure—If the image server does not respond.
n A new image version found—If a new image version is found.
2. If a new version is found, the Upgrade Now button becomes available and the version number is
displayed.
3. Click Upgrade Now.
The W-IAP downloads the image from the server, saves it to flash, and reboots. Depending on the progress
and success of the upgrade, one of the following messages is displayed:
n Upgrading—While image upgrading is in progress.
