The first command establishes a TFTP session with the

server, gets the script file from the server, and places the

file in the RAM file segment, giving it the name “sysswdl.”

The second command runs the script from the RAM

segment.
The script file should contain the same commands you

would use from the command line to erase the appropriate

file segments, download the new file(s), and reboot using

the new software. To test the script file manually to ensure

it functions, log onto an access point and type the script file

commands from the command line.

Creating Script Files

Script files are ASCII text files with a 32-byte file system

header appended. The total file size including the 32-byte

header must be less than the 4096 bytes in order to fit into

the RAM file segment.
Each script file line must be fewer than 80 characters and

be terminated by a line feed or a carriage return. Only one

command is permitted per line. Spaces on a line are

insignificant; commands and arguments may be preceded

by any number of tabs or spaces as long as the total line

length is fewer than 80 characters.
The script files can contain comments, designated by the “#”

character. All characters on a line after a “#” are ignored.
Program FHDR29K.EXE appends the file system header to

the script file. Assuming the ASCII text script file is named

SCRIPT.TXT, the following command line appends the

appropriate file header and places the output in file

SCRIPT.DAT:
