Commands
This chapter describes the access point monitor, console command
mode, and how to use script files to update the system files.
Using the Access Point Monitor
The access point monitor is the system software that controls the access
point. You can use access point monitor commands to manipulate the
access point file segments.
Understanding
Access Point
Segments
The access point has the following five segments in its file system:
❑ The current active boot or startup segment (can be segment 1 or
2)
❑ The current inactive boot or startup segment (can be segment 1
or 2)
❑ The current active data segment (can be segment 3 or 4)
❑ The current inactive data segment (can be segment 3 or 4)
❑ The RAM memory segment
You can enter commands to manipulate the boot and data segments.
For instance, you typically download a new firmware version into an
inactive segment and then make that segment active the next time the
access point boots. For more information on upgrading the access point
firmware, see Upgrading the Firmware on page 141.
