Understanding Access Point Software Upgrades

The AX411 Access Point is shipped with software preinstalled. As new features and software fixes become available, you must upgrade the software on the access point to use them.

The AX411 Access Point retains two software images in its storage. The image that is uploaded most recently to the access point is used as the active image and is loaded into the access point’s memory when it is booted. The older software image provides an automatic backup mechanism if the newly loaded software fails to operate or the new image becomes corrupted during the upload process. In either case, the access point will automatically boot up using the backup image.

To download software upgrades, you must have a Juniper Networks Web account and a valid support contract. To obtain an account, complete the registration form at the Juniper Networks website: https://www.juniper.net/registration/Register.jsp .

You can use the Junos OS CLI or J-Web interface to upgrade the software on an access point.

Whenever new software is loaded onto the access point, the existing configuration on the access point is retained and applied.
