Firmware Recovery
The WAP device has a firmware recovery feature that enables the restoration of a valid image
on the WAP device after a failed download. If the power goes down during an image
download, the WAP device might not be able to boot. In this event, although the image is not
usable, the boot loader file that loads the firmware image from flash memory to RAM should
continue to be functional. An HTTP server is embedded in the boot loader file, enabling the
administrator to connect to the WAP device over the LAN port and use a web browser to
download and install a new firmware image.
