The software for each Wireless AP can be uploaded either immediately, or the
next time the Wireless AP connects. Part of the Wireless AP boot sequence is to
seek and install its software from the HiPath Wireless Controller.
Most of the properties of each radio on a Wireless AP can be modified without
requiring a reboot of the AP.
The Wireless AP keeps a backup copy of its software image. When a software
upgrade is sent to the Wireless AP, the upgrade becomes the Wireless AP's
current image and the previous image becomes the backup. In the event of failure
of the current image, the Wireless AP will run the backup image.
Note: The HiPath Wireless Controller does not ship with sensor software. Sensor
software must be installed on a TFTP server.
To maintain the list of current Wireless AP software images:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The Wireless AP
Configuration page is displayed.
2. From the left pane, click AP Maintenance. The AP Software Maintenance
tab is displayed.
3. In the AP Images for Platform drop-down list, click the appropriate platform.
