both as needed.
Verify the file versions from the access point’s System Settings screen.
B.1.1.2 Global Options - Using Extended/Standard Options
The following are instructions for automatic firmware and configuration file updates via DHCP using
extended options or standard options configured globally.
The setup example described in this section includes:
1 AP-5131 or AP-5181 model access point
1 Microsoft Windows DHCP Server
1 TFTP Server.
Note the following caveats regarding this procedure before beginning:
For updates using the LAN Port, change the interface on the Firmware Update screen from
WAN to LAN. Also ensure the LAN Interface is configured as a DHCP Client
If the existing and update firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated.
