Select the access point model to specify which model is available to
upgrade by the Virtual Controller AP. Upgrades can only be made to the
same access point model. For example, an AP-6532 firmware image
cannot be used to upgrade an AP-7131 model access point. For that
reason, the drop-down menu will only display the model deployed.
To perform the upgrade immediately, select Now. To schedule the upgrade
to take place at a specified time, enter a date and time. Select whether you
require an immediate reboot once the AP is updated. If you would like a
reboot later, schedule the time accordingly. The AP must be rebooted to
implement the firmware upgrade. Select No Reboot to ensure the access
point remains in operation with its current firmware. This option is useful
to ensure the access point remains operational until ready to take it offline
for the required reboot.
