Scheduling Automatic Upgrades
When the upgrade method is TFTP, FTP or Web, you can schedule automatic
upgrades:
1. In the Upgrade Method options, click the button for your preferred choice.
2. Enter the appropriate information in the Host name field or IP address field.
CAUTION: Do not change any of the Image Control File, Username, or Password
entries.
3. Verify that the Auto Upgrade option is set to Enabled.
4. Toggle the Interval to Check for Software Upgrade drop-down list to select your
preferred interval.
5. Choose whether to reboot immediately after upgrading, or schedule the reboot
for a specific time of day using the Schedule Reboot Time After Upgrade list.
Choosing Any Time (the default value) results in the AP performing a reboot
immediately after the automatic upgrade is successful.
6. You have two options at this point:
• Click Perform Upgrade, which will start the process and the clock. The next
upgrade will occur at the selected interval.
• Click Save parameters only. The clock starts right away, and the actual
upgrade will occur at the first effective interval.
After you click one of these two options, a status bar appears during the upgrade
process.
When the upgrade is complete, the AP will reboot automatically at the time you
specified in step 5.
