Altitude AP maintenance: software
Periodically, the software used by the Altitude APs is altered, either for reasons of upgrade or security.
The new version of the software is installed from the Summit WM-Series Switch, using the Altitude AP
Maintenance option.
You select the version of software for each Altitude AP that will 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).
A number of the properties of each radio on a Altitude AP can be modified (in the Altitude AP
Configuration screen) without requiring a reboot of the Altitude AP is also required after:
● enabling or disabling either radio, or changing the radio channel between “Auto” and any fixed
channel number (in the Altitude AP Configuration screen)
● adding the Altitude AP to a WM-AD, or changing its radio assignment in a WM-AD (in the WM-AD
Configuration screen)
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.
