CAUTION A single-radio model access point cannot import/export its configuration to a dual-radio model access
point. In turn, a dual-radio model access point cannot import/export its configuration to a single-radio
access point.
CAUTION Symbol discourages importing a 1.0 baseline configuration file to a 1.1 version access point. Similarly,
a 1.1 baseline configuration file should not be imported to a 1.0 version access point. Importing
configuration files between different version access point’s results in broken configurations, since
new features added to the 1.1 version access point cannot be supported in a 1.0 version access point.
