2. Define various device-level configuration objects to apply to individual SmartPath APs. These include map, CAPWAP servers,
radio profiles, scheduled configuration audits, RADIUS authentication server settings, and DHCP server or DHCP relay agent
settings.
3. Apply the policy-level settings (contained within a WLAN policy) and device-level settings to one or more SmartPath APs, and
then push the configurations to physical SmartPath AP devices across the network.
7.4 Updating Software on SmartPath EMS VMA
You can update the software running on SmartPath EMS VMA from either a local directory on your management system or an
SCP (Secure Copy) server. If you download an image and save it to a local directory, you can load it from there. If you save the
image to an SCP server, you can direct SmartPath EMS VMA to log in and load it from a directory there.
1. I f you do not yet have an account on the Black Box Support portal, send an e-mail request to (info@blackbox.com) to set one
up.
2. When you have login credentials, visit www.blackbox.com/support/login and log in.
3. Navigate to the software image that you want to load onto SmartPath EMS VMA (Customer Support > Software Downloads >
SmartPath EMS VMA software images) and download the file.
4. Save the SmartPath EMS VMA image file to a local directory or an SCP server.
5. Log in to SmartPath EMS VMA and navigate to Home > Administration > SmartPath EMS VMA Operations > Update Software.
6. To load files from a directory on your local management system, choose either Update and clear alarm and event logs or Full
update (to keep existing log entries after the upgrade), and then enter the following: File from local host: (select); type the
directory path and a file name; or click Browse, navigate to the software file, and select it.
or
To load a file from an SCP server:
File from remote server: (select)
IP Address: Enter the IP address of the SCP server.
SCP Port: Enter the port number of the SCP server (the default port number for SCP is 22).
