I have a unit that is 3.1.5 that I need to upgrade. I can’t remember how to do this. I remember ftping the files to the module then issuing a command to do this?
Step 1: Use FTP to transfer APboot.bin, FPGA (if required), and block.bin (if required) to AP.
Get a command line prompt on your system and cd (change directory) to the directory where you have
stored the download files. Your directory name and path may be different than shown.
> pwd
CanopyRelease4.2_DES Folder
> ls
CanopyEnterpriseMIB CanopyRelease4.2
> cd CanopyR*
> ls
062403_D40.jbc APASboot.bin BH10boot.bin
SMboot.bin
42actionlist.txt APboot.bin BH20boot.bin
block.bin
> ftp 169.254.1.1
Connected to 169.254.1.1.

Don’t forget the binary! Else everything will appear to work until you burnfile and get an error.

Step 2: Telnet to the module to issue commands to burn in the new software and reboot.

f asked for user and password, root is the user and see Section 5.2.8, FTP and Telnet Passwords, for the
password.
