Upgrading the WLP Software
The WLP supports TFTP and URL software upgrades. A software upgrade
can be performed by connecting to the Ethernet port or over the air
connected through the access or BH radios. When a software upgrade is
performed, a new image is copied to the WLP Flash (ROM memory). The
Flash holds two software images. Therefore, when a new image is
uploaded, the running image is not overridden. If, for any reason, the
software upgrade fails, the WLP can continue to function with its current
image.
Obtaining a New Software Image
New software images can be downloaded from the GO Networks FTP site
using the following connection information:
ftp://versions:ver2go@ftp.gonetworks.com
Username: versions
Password: ver2go
The software images are under the WLS directory. Note that the images
are named WLS, as WLS and WLP devices are loaded with the same
software image.
TFTP Software Upgrade
To upgrade software using TFTP, the user has to prepare a TFTP server
with the new software image. A freeware TFTP server such as PumpKIN
can be downloaded from the Internet and installed on the technician’s PC.
To upgrade the software via TFTP use the following command:
import image from tftp <ip address> <filename>
