Before You Begin: Preconfiguring the AP

NOTE APs are shipped from the factory with AP 100.x base image firmware, which
supports standalone and FlexMaster (FM) manager operation. The AP 100.x base
image does not support SmartCell Gateway (SCG), virtual SmartCell Gateway
(vSCG), SmartZone (SZ), or ZoneDirector (ZD) controller operation.
After you have configured the AP with the AP 100.1.0 base image as described in
the following sections, the AP can automatically search for an operator-defined
SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller. When the AP finds the SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD
controller that is configured to automatically recognize the AP, the controller
downloads the required controller-compatible AP firmware, and the AP is now
managed by that controller. If the AP does not find an SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD
controller, then it retains its AP 100.1.0 base image.
NOTE In the SCG, vSCG, SZ and ZD cases, after the AP base image is overwritten
with the controller-specific image and the AP no longer operates in standalone
mode, the AP retains its SCG, vSCG, SZ or ZD firmware image after reboot and
factory reset.
To replace controller-compatible AP firmware with the AP 100.1.0 base image,
please select the AP and download the required AP firmware at

The procedure for completing the AP's basic configuration depends on whether you
want it to be managed by an SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller, or if you want it to
operate as a standalone AP with or without an FM manager. Refer to the section
that is relevant to your deployment:
• Configuring the AP for Management by an SCG, vSCG, or SZ Controller
• Configuring the AP for Management by ZD
• Configuring the AP for Standalone Operation or for Management by FM
