Fig. 26: TFTP Server

NOTE: After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the working

folder within which the downloaded firmware files reside.

NOTE: Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.

NOTE: The LAN IP address of the IEEE 802.11b/g and the IP address of the TFTP server must be in

the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.

NOTE: Due to the unreliable nature of wireless media, it’s highly recommended that the TFTP server

and the to-be-upgraded wireless IEEE 802.11b/g be connected by Ethernet, and on the same LAN, so

that the upgrade process would be smooth.

NOTE: After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser cache, so

that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.

NOTE: A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the IEEE 802.11b/g unbootable. When

this occurs, call for technical support.

TIP: If you want to remotely upgrade the firmware of a deployed IEEE 802.11b/g from the Internet,

adjust the Timeout and Max no. of retries settings of TFTP Server for remote TFTP upgrade to suc-

ceed.
