2.14.1 Update Using TFTP
The Ethernet TFTP upgrade method requires a connection between the AP
and PC on the same Ethernet segment. Verify the PC has a TFTP server
running on it. Running the server requires third party software like FTP PC/
TCP for DOS or OnNet™ for Windows. The wireless TFTP upgrade method
requires a connection between the AP and a TFTP server. The TFTP server can
be running on a Symbol Spectrum24 device.
