TFTP Client Command Retry
When executing a script file, the access point retries TFTP
client commands GET and PUT until the command
completes successfully. If the first attempt to transfer the
file fails, the access point retries after a one-minute delay.
With each successive failure, the retry time doubles until it
reaches 8 minutes. Once this limit is reached, it remains at
8 minutes until the command completes.
Reboot Command
The Reboot command (located on the Main Menu) forces the
access point to restart immediately. If it is issued within a
script file, commands following it are not executed. If used,
Reboot should always be the last command in the file.
Because Reboot causes an immediate reboot before the
script file processing is completed, the software download
status is not updated to accurately reflect the result of the
software download. While this has no adverse effect on
access point operation, you can not tell whether the
download completed successfully without examining the
version numbers of the active boot and data files after the
access point has rebooted.
The preferred method of rebooting after a script file has
completed is to set the next power up time variable. This
should be the last thing the script file does, to allow the
script file processing to complete and the software download
status variable to be updated before the reboot occurs.
