3227.0. "RoamAbout with HUBloader" by PHHSS1::DFAUST (Bad Things, man...) Fri Feb 02 1996 07:22

    I am trying to upgrade the firmware in a RoamAbout Access Point with
    HUBloader, but I can't find the location on the network of the firmware
    for that sucker. Can anybody point me in the correct direction?

3227.1FEENID::AP$ROOT:[000000]PTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Sat Feb 03 1996 17:4918
    Try:
    
    FEENIX::AP$ROOT:[RELEASE]  (under the appropriate directory i.e. V21
    etc.)
    
    
    NOTE...be sure to be connected to the WIRED side of the LAN when
    upgrading...(i.e. u can't upgrade if you're connected wireless)
    
    Also note that if in a hub, the console port of the access point is
    disabled - (a pain if in a 90)
    
    use option 11 (module specific options) and download flash to upgrade
    
    REgards,
    j
    
    p.s. it seems to timeout on a busy network...

        Also don't bother trying to use HUBloader -- there is no
        HUBloader support in the AP image. Just use a TFTP server
        (eg NetRider Loader V1.0 (aka HUBwatch's TFTP Server), or       
        NetRider Loader V1.1) and the AP image jon gave you the pointer to
        earlier...

3227.3Right - just use the TFTP server partPTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Mon Feb 05 1996 18:1611
    Mike - right...you just need the TFTP server part...(I tend to lump 'em
    all together....)
    
    
    Dennis -
    
    You just need to put the image in the 'hubload' directory, the hardware
    address of the AP etc., as if you were loading a DECserver etc..

    The v21.bin is not on gatekeeper. Should customers be able to get
    this and upgrade the firmware themselves?

    and the answer is: for customers, the firmware for these
    modules is available at http://www.networks.digital.com.
