How to Upgrade AP Firmware via TFTP Server - DWC-2000
Network Configuration:
This example will use the following devices and setup:
DWC-2000 – Unified Wireless Controller
DWL-6600AP - Unified Wireless N Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point
PC with tftp Server
Step 1 – Enter the web GUI interface of the DSR using its IP address in a web browser. In our example we have used the IP address of 192.168.1.168
Accept any certificate warnings you may see, this is perfectly normal and safe
Step 2 – We first need to download the latest firmware available from our website. We are going to download for the DWL-6600AP
http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/
Step 3 – Once done, you will need to install a tftp server. You may use the following link:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
Step 3 – Open the tftp server and transfer or copy the firmware you had downloaded for the APs from our site to the following destination:
Current Directory: C:\Program Files\Tftpd64
Server interfaces: 192.168.1.142 (This is the IP of where the tftp Server resides)
In our example we are going to upgrade the DWL-6600AP and use the above file. We have shortened the file name from:
DWL-6600AP_4_2_0_9_B021.tar
To
DWL4209B021.tar
Step 4 – To upgrade the APs via tftp, you will need to go to the following menu:
Maintenance > Firmware > AP Firmware Download
Step 5 – Enter the following details as per the example below:
On “Managed AP”, you may either select “All” or select certain APs to upgrade. Our example, we have selected the DWL-6600AP
Step 6 – Once you have the above completed the above configuration, click “Save”
Step 7 – Click on “Start” and you should notice the transfer of files from the tftp server as per below
Step 7 – If you select “AP Firmware Status” you will notice the status as: “NVRAM Update in Progress”
Step 8 – Once the upgrade has completed successfully, you should receive the following status:
Due to we have used a DWL-6600AP we need to upgrade the AP twice (because it has dual-Images)
Please note this will also apply to the following APs:
• DWL-8600Ap
• DWL-8610AP
Other supported APs the firmware upgrade will ONLY need to be once
Note: If you have a failed success, please confirm the following:
1) You have clicked “Save” in Step 6
2) No firewall or and Antivirus program blocking the tftp server
3) Network connections are correct
4) Check Cables
