Configuring Automatic Updates using a DHCP or Linux BootP Server
This section provides specific details for configuring either a DHCP or Linux BootP Server to send
firmware or configuration file updates to an access point.
The AutoUpdate feature updates the access point firmware and/or configuration automatically
when the access point is reset or does a DHCP request. The update process is conducted over the
LAN or WAN port depending on which server responds first to the access point’s request for an
automatic update.
The firmware is automatically updated each time firmware versions are found to be different
between what is running on the access point and the firmware file that resides on the server. The
configuration file is automatically applied when the configuration filename is found to be different
between what resides on the access point and the filename residing on the server or when the
configuration version is found to be different between what resides on the access point and the
configuration version residing on the server.
The configuration version can be modified in the text file to cause the configuration to be applied
when required. The access point only checks the two characters after the third hyphen (01) when
making a comparison. Change the last two characters to update the configuration. The two
characters can be alpha-numeric.
