Performing Altitude AP software maintenance

Summit WM Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 4.1 User Guide

3 In the Altitude APs list, select one or more APs to edit. To select multiple APs, select the appropriate

APs from the list while pressing the CTRL key. The Channel drop-down list is not available if using

the multi-edit feature.

NOTE

When using multi-edit configuration, any box or option that is not explicitly modified will not be changed by the

update. The Altitude APs shown in the Altitude APs list can be from any version of the software. Attributes that

are common between software versions are set on all Altitude APs. Attributes that are not common, are only sent

to the AP versions to which the attributes apply. Attempting to set an attribute that does not apply for an AP will

not abort the multi-edit operation.

4 Modify the configuration of the selected Altitude APs:

● WAP Properties – For more information, see “Modifying an Altitude AP’s properties” on page 68.

● Radio Settings – For more information, see “Modifying the Altitude AP’s radio properties” on

page 70.

● Static Configuration – For more information, see “Setting up the Altitude AP using static

configuration” on page 75.

5 In the WAP Properties, Radio Settings, and Static Configuration sections of the screen, select and

enter the attributes you want to edit for all selected APs.

6 To save your changes, click Save.

Performing Altitude AP software maintenance

Periodically, the software used by the Altitude APs is altered for reasons of upgrade or security. The

new version of the AP software is installed from the Summit WM series switch.

The software for each Altitude AP can be uploaded either immediately, or the next time the Altitude AP

connects. Part of the Altitude AP boot sequence is to seek and install its software from the Summit WM

series switch.

Although a number of the properties of each radio on an Altitude AP can be modified without

requiring a reboot of the AP, a reboot is required after:

● Enabling or disabling either radio, or changing the radio channel between Auto and any fixed

channel number

● Adding the Altitude AP to a WM-AD, or changing its radio assignment in a WM-AD

The Altitude AP keeps a backup copy of its software image. When a software upgrade is sent to the

Altitude AP, the upgrade becomes the Altitude AP's current image and the previous image becomes the

backup. In the event of failure of the current image, the Altitude AP will run the backup image.
