11.3 Reverting to Access Point Functionality

The WS5000 Series Switch can revert a converted AP-4131 to a traditional access point.
To revert an AP-4131 to a traditional access point, the switch must keep multiple versions of the firmware for
the same type of RF port. During adoption, the switch uses the version of the firmware with the highest version
number by default. You can specify a different version of the firmware for the RF port.
To revert an AP-4131 back to access point functionality, the switch includes an additional firmware file (ap-
4131-revert.bin.img). The firmware version is set to 0.0.0.0 to ensure the file can never be used as a default
adoption file. The file is created using the latest released version of AP-4131 firmware.
To revert the AP-4131:
Select the ap-4131-revert.bin.img for each AP-4131 requiring conversion
The switch sends the file to a converted AP-4131 using an existing WISP firmware download.
After the download completes, the AP-4131 becomes an independent access point again. You can apply any
custom releases or patches after the revert procedure completes.
command:
add AP4131
