Operations
Motorola Solutions periodically releases updated device firmware and configuration files to the Motorola Solutions Support
Web site. If an access point's (or its associated device's) firmware is older than the version on the Web site, Motorola Solutions
recommends updating to the latest firmware version for full functionality and utilization. Additionally, selected devices can
either have a primary or secondary firmware image applied or fallback to a selected firmware image if an error were to occur
in the update process.
Device update activities include:
•

Managing Firmware and Configuration Files

• Rebooting the Device

• Viewing Device Summary Information
• Adopted Device Upgrades

NOTE: AP upgrades can only be performed by access points in Virtual Controller AP
mode, and cannot be initiated by Standalone APs. Additionally, upgrades can only be
performed on access points of the same model as the Virtual Controller AP.
These tasks can be performed on individual access points and wireless clients.
