Hi


I've got a couple of AP4050DN that I want to use at home.
It seemed the easiest route is to switch from FIT to FAT, however, it turns out to be not so easy.
I've read through some docs and realise I must configure some form of FTP server with the FAT image on it.
I must then log into the AP and do the ap--mode-switch fat ftp command
Is there anything that I am missing? I am brand new to Huawei equipment.

Now I need to find the correct FAT firmware/image to host on the FTP.
The VRP is version 5.170 AP4050DN V200R010C00SPCf00


Can someone please point me to the correct firmware/image for FAT?


Thanks
Pierre

Hi DDSN


Thanks for your response. There is no zip file available for download though. Presumably this has something to do with my permissions, not being an enterprise user?

Thanks DDSN.

It seems the second link is applicable. I don't have a company ID or any such stuff.
I have a product registered (did that some time ago in my solo attempt to get somewhere with this FIT to FAT exercise).

I still can't find the zip anywhere though, I was hoping this mode switch process will take about 20 min, but it's now becoming a life consuming event i_f01.gif
