• Determine the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>. If the device is running DHCP,
the device LAN IP address is likely the default gateway of your connected
client; otherwise, if the device LAN IP address is not the default LAN IP
address listed above, the device LAN IP address can be retrieved in wireless
sniffer capture data (e.g., kismet).
• Log on to the device’s web interface by opening a web browser and pointing it
to http://<Device_LAN_IP_Address>, where “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”
is the device IP address determined from the previous step (i.e., not the literal
string “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”). For example, if the
<Device_LAN_IP_Address> is 192.168.2.1, use http://192.168.2.1.
• Click the “Firmware Update” link on the left tab.
• Enter the web interface password and click the “Submit” button.
• Click the “Browse…” button and browse to the ip1006aa[X].img firmware
file of interest on the client computer.
• Click the “Update” button. If you get the error message “Cannot upload,
please contact administrator” you will need to reference the CB User’s
Manual section 12.7 “Firmware Upgrade Will …” to further continue the
upgrade process.
• Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.
