Download APc User Manual

Section 8: The [Upgrade] Page
In the [Upgrade] page, you can upgrade the firmware of the APc using the “APc Upgrade” tab or
upgrade the firmware of the APs using the “AP Upgrade” tab.
8.1 APc Upgrade
It is recommended to first “Export APs” from the [Management] page, and download the .csv file.
This would make it easy to import the same APs after the APc upgrade.
The first page that is displayed in the [Upgrade] page belongs to the “APc Upgrade” tab.
Figure 42: The [Upgrade] page.
This is where the firmware of the APc can be upgraded. Ideally, the APc should not be applying
settings to the APs while doing the APc upgrade. In the [Management] page, make sure that the
Status icon of the APs do not show the orange coloured text “Applying”. Otherwise, the affected
parameters would take a longer time to be updated.
Select your file: You may browse for the required .zip file e.g. “apc_v1.06_b150429_r198.zip”.
The .zip file contains a folder called “apc”.
Depending on the “.zip” file, the APc can be changed to either of these two versions:
• Logo: This has the Compex Logo and it does not have an expiry date i.e. it is free for life.
• License: This does not have the Compex Logo and it has a trial license with an expiry date.
Specify your apc web directory to unzip (e.g. /var/www/html): By default, the directory path to
place the uploaded file is “/var/www/html”.
Once the file is selected, please click “Start Import” to upload the file to the APc.
