Chapter 9 Using Cisco WCS
Managing Cisco WCS and the Cisco WCS Database
Step 5 When you use the built-in Cisco WCS TFTP server, select the TFTP Server on Cisco WCS System
check box. When you use an external TFTP server, uncheck this check box and add the external TFTP
server IP address.
Step 6 Click Browse and navigate to the software update file (for example, AS_2000_release-number.aes for
2000 series controllers). The path and filename of the software appear in the File Name box.
Be sure you have to correct software file for your controller:
• Software files for 2000 seres controllers are named AS_2000_release.aes
• Software files for 4100 seres controllers are named AS_4100_release.aes
• Software files for 4400 seres controllers are named AS_4400_release.aes
Step 7 Click Download. Cisco WCS downloads the software to the Cisco WCS Server /aes-tftp directory, then
downloads the software to the controller. The controller writes the code to flash RAM. As Cisco WCS
performs these functions, it displays its progress in the Status box.

Installing Cisco WCS
Refer to the Windows Cisco WCS Quick Start Guide or the Linux Cisco WCS Quick Start Guide for
instructions on installing Cisco WCS on a server.
Updating the Cisco WCS for Windows
Follow these steps to upgrade Cisco WCS for Windows:
Step 1 If possible, stop all Cisco WCS User Interfaces to stabilize the database.
Step 2 Stop Cisco WCS. Refer to the “Starting and Stopping Cisco WCS for Windows” section on page 8-2 for
instructions on stopping Cisco WCS.
Step 3 Create a backup directory with no spaces in the name, such as C:\WCS30_Backup\. Be sure that the
directory name does not contain spaces. Spaces cause errors when Cisco WCS runs the backup script.
Step 4 From the Windows START button, select the Programs menu, and then select Wireless Control
System /Backup. The backup script opens the Backup DOS window and the Select Backup directory
window.
