WARNING!
During a firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the

rebooting! When the Test light turns off, wait a few more seconds
before you do anything.
6. To verify if the wireless controller is running the latest firmware, select Monitor > Network >
Controller to display the Controllers screen, and look at the firmware version in the Version
column.
Note: In some cases, such as a major firmware upgrade, you might need
to erase the configuration and manually reconfigure the wireless
controller after the firmware upgrade. Refer to the Release Notes for
the firmware version to find out if you need to reconfigure the
wireless controller.

Rebooting or Resetting the Wireless Controller

The Reboot/Reset Controllers screen lets you reboot or reset the wireless controller. There
are two types of reset:
• Hard reset. The settings of the wireless controller are restored to factory default settings.
This reset has the same function as the factory default reset button on the rear panel.
• Soft reset. Saves the IP addresses, floor plans, and managed access point list but clears
all other settings such as profiles, profile groups, authentication servers, and so on.
To display the Reboot/Reset Controllers screen, select Maintenance > Backup/Restore.
