AirWorks AWK-1100 User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
NOTE
After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the working folder
within which the downloaded firmware files reside.
Make sure the Accept read requests check box of the TFTP Server is selected.
The LAN IP address of the AP and the IP address of the TFTP server must be on the same IP
subnet for TFTP to work.
Due to the unreliable nature of wireless media, it is highly recommended that the TFTP server
and the wireless AP that is being upgraded are connected by Ethernet on the same LAN. Doing so
will help ensure a much smoother upgrade process.
After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser cache so that
the Web management pages can be shown correctly.
A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and cause the AWK-1100 to fail. When this occurs,
contact Moxa technical support for assistance.
TIP
If you want to upgrade the firmware of a deployed AP from a remote location over the Internet,
adjust the Timeout and Max no. of retries settings of the TFTP Server for remote TFTP upgrade
to succeed.
Backing up and Restoring Configuration Settings by TFTP
To back up the configuration of the AWK-1100 by TFTP:
1. Prepare a computer that will be used as a TFTP server and as a managing computer to trigger
the backup process.
2. Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch ports with a normal Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the IP address of the computer so that the computer and the AWK-1100 are on the
same IP sub-net.
4. On the computer, run the TFTP Server utility. Select the Accept write requests check box,
and specify the folder to which the configuration settings of the AP will be saved.
5. On the computer, run a Web browser and click the General, Firmware Tools hyperlink.
6. Choose TFTP as the Firmware management protocol.
7. Within the Configuration Backup/Restore section, specify the IP address of the computer
that acts as a TFTP server. If you don’t know the IP address of the computer, open a
Command Prompt, and type ipconfig, then press the Enter key.
8. Trigger the backup process by clicking Back Up. The AWK-1100’s configuration settings
will be saved as “AaBbCcDdEeFf.hex” by the TFTP server, where “AaBbCcDdEeFf” is the
AWK-1100’s MAC address. For example, if the AWK-1100’s MAC address is
00-01-02-33-44-55, the configuration backup file will be “000102334455.hex”.
NOTE
Remember to select the Accept write requests check box of TFTP Server.
