The “Trivial File Transfer Protocol” (TFTP) server allows you to transfer 
files across a network. You can upload configuration files from the AP for 
backup or copying, and you can download configuration files or new 
software images. The TFTP software is located on the Avaya Wireless 
AP Installation CD-ROM. 

If a TFTP server is not configured and running, you will not be able to 
download and upload images and configuration files to/from the AP. 
Remember that the TFTP server does not have to be local, so long as you 
have a valid TFTP IP address. Note that you do not need a TFTP server 
running unless you want to transfer files to or from the AP.

After the TFTP server is installed:

•  Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory 

containing the AP Image.

•  Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP Address, the proper 

AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server is connected.
