2. To distribute the new software to selected VAPs:

• Select the Distribute sub-menu option found on the left side.

3. Download the new version to the selected VAPs (Note: The downloaded version is stored as

Inactive in the VAPs until a Swap procedure is performed.)

• In the VAP Distribute Table display area, checkmark the VAPs to be upgraded. The

Active and Inactive SW versions for each VAP are listed in the relevant columns.

• Click the Distribute button to download the new software to the selected VAPs. The

software is stored as the Inactive version in the VAPs.

• Set the new software as the Active version in the selected VAPs by clicking the Swap

button.

• The VAP upgrade procedure is complete.

Notes:

1. As during the distribution process service may be interrupted, it is advised to perform the SW

download and distribution in a maintenance window scheduled at off-peak hours (e.g. nights

and/or weekends).

2. During the distribution process DO NOT perform configuration changes, connect or disconnect

VAPs, and/or disconnect the web GUI.

3. After the distribution process is complete and swapping between VAP SW images, the VCU will

restart automatically. After restart, the VAP firmware distribution table will be empty. Within

several seconds it will re-populate as the VCU re-discovers connected VAPs.
