Upgrading the firmware

As new versions of the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP firmware become available,
you can upgrade the firmware on your access points to take advantages of new features
and enhancements.

To upgrade the firmware on a particular access point:

1

Select the access point to upgrade from the Administration Web page, then click

Advanced > Upgrade

. The Upgrade firmware page for the chosen access point opens.

2

If you know the path to the new firmware image file, type it in the textbox. Otherwise,
click Browse and locate the firmware image file.

3

Click

Update

to apply the new firmware image.

Important

You must do this for each access point. You cannot
upgrade firmware automatically across the cluster.

Keep in mind that a successful firmware upgrade restores
the access point configuration to the factory defaults. (See

“Default settings and supported administrator/client
platforms” on page 5

.)
