Wac720 blinking led
Hi,
i have a AP wac720 with a orange blinking led. normaly this AP is connected to a wireless controller.
it is not possible to connect to the ip address so i connect with a serial cable.
when the AP startup i can see messages like "Bad Eraseblock ..."
i try to upgrade the firmware to standalone version with tftp. then i receive the message network is unreachable.
is it possible to upgrade the firmware other than over network?
regards
frank
