Three types of files can be downloaded to the AP from a TFTP server:

•  img (AP software image or kernel)
•  config (configuration file)
•  bspBl (BSP/Bootloader firmware file) 

A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files 
across a network. You can 

•  upload files from the AP for backup or copying, and 
•  download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. 

The Solarwinds TFTP server software is located on the Avaya Wireless 
AP Installation CD-ROM. You can also download the latest TFTP 
software from Solarwind’s Web site at 

.

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 as long as you 
have a valid TFTP IP address. Also, a TFTP server does not have to be 
running for the AP to perform tasks that do not involve file transfers.
