4.8.1 Upgrade/Downgrade Considerations
When upgrading or downgrading access point configurations between the 1.0.0.0-xx (or 1.0.1.0-xx)
and 1.1.0.0-xx baselines, the following should be taken into consideration as certain functionalities
may not be available to the user after an upgrade/downgrade:
CAUTION Prior to upgrading/downgrading the access point's configuration,
!
• When downgrading from 1.1.1/1.1 to 1.0, the access point is configured to default values.
• After a downgrade from 1.1/1.1.0 to 1.0.x.x, WLANs mapped to LAN2 would still be usable,
but now only available on LAN1. Once upgraded back, those WLANs previously available on
LAN2 would still be mapped to LAN2.
• If downgraded to the 1.0.0.0-xx baseline, and a restore factory defaults function is
performed, only 1.0.0.0-xx default values are restored to their factory default values. The
feature set unique to 1.1/1.1.1 can only be restored to factory default when the access point
is running 1.1.0.0-xx firmware.
• An AP-5181 model access point does not support firmware prior to 1.1.1.0.
• Export either a CA or Self Certificate to a safe and secure location before upgrading or
downgrading your access point firmware. If the certificate is not saved, it will be discarded
(if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
ensure the access point's current configuration has been exported to a
secure location. Having the configuration available is recommended in
case errors occur in the upgrade/downgrade process.
