Upgrade Procedure

1. Copy the attached file emw-1.4.2.tgz to a UBS flash drive with FAT 32 format.
   This is done in Windows PC.
2. Connect USB Flash Drive to Linux PC and boot up. Must go through registration of user and password. “aaron, Cookie2002”
3. Copy the emw-1.4.2.tgz file to /tmp folder inside the Linux PC. Use the Mate window to copy and paste the file
4. “In the Mate, open the Terminal Command window”. Right click in Mate and select Open in Terminal.
5. Set superuser
   • sudo su – root

   Note the spaces in the command

6. Go to the fodler tmp
   • cd /tmp
7. Decompress the file emw-1.4.2.tgz
   • tar xzvf emw-1.4.2.tgz

   Two files emwadcast and emwadcast.ksp will appear.

8. Find the LAN interface
   • ifconfig

   “For example, enxb827eb6b292e”.

9. Listen to the communication between WAD-104 and Router
   • tcpdump -nni “lan-interface” udp port 3189
   • Do not put the “” symbols around the LAN-interface.

   You will see
   “17:08:55.852393 IP 192.168.0.108.37783 > 192.168.0.255.3189: UDP, length 1004”
   “17:08:55.852393 IP 192.168.0.108.37783 > 192.168.0.255.3189: UDP, length 348”
   “17:08:55.852393 IP 192.168.0.108.37783 > 192.168.0.255.3189: UDP, length 1004”
   “17:08:55.852393 IP 192.168.0.108.37783 > 192.168.0.255.3189: UDP, length 348”

10. Note the IP address of the WAD-104 which in this example is 192.168.0.108.
11. End the listening by Contol-C.
12. Copy the emwadcast and emwadcast.ksp to WAD-104 in the folder usr
    • scp emwadcast “ip address”:/usr
    • Do not put the “” symbols around the IP-address.
    • scp emwadcast.ksp “ip address”:/usr
    • Do not put the “” symbols around the IP address

    For example, scp emwadcast 192.168.1.108:/usr.

13. You will be asked to confirm with Yes.
14. You will be asked for the password of WAD-104 Cinet.com.
15. Remote into WAD-104
    • ssh “ip address”
    • Do not put the “” symbols around the IP address.
16. You will be asked for the password of WAD-104 Cinet.com.
17. Move to folder usr
    • cd /usr
18. Move the two files from usr folder to bin folder and replace the existing files.
    • mv emwadcast bin -f
    • mv emwadcast.ksp bin -f
19. Exit out of Wad-104
    • exit
20. Power off WAD-104. Reboot WAD-104 for the new firmware
21. “Should you need to set a daisy-chain of WAD-104 units, set J1 pins as follows:”
    Pin1 Pin2 Pin3 Pin4 Cluster Number
    Off Off On Off 0
    On Off On Off 1
    Off On On Off 2
    On On On Off 3

Ruckus ZF7372 AP requires to be stand alone router to work with a WAD server that has its DHCP server disabled. That would be the case when using WAD-110 or 120 server with its DHCP server disabled or using WAD-104 always since the WAD-104 does not have a DHCP server.

But many Ruckus products are available with firmware which does not allow the APs to become stand alone routers. They require upgrade of firmware and here is the instruction on how to upgrade the firmware particularly for the Ruckus ZF7372 AP.

The upgrade is complete. The ZF7372 AP is now ready to be configured for use with a WAD server following the instruction.
