4.8 Updating Device Firmware
Symbol periodically releases updated versions of the access point device firmware to the Symbol
Web site. If the access point firmware version displayed on the System Settings page (see
Configuring System Settings on page 4-2) is older than the version on the Web site, Symbol
recommends updating the access point to the latest firmware version for full feature functionality.

occur using the CLI, they display all at once and are easier to troubleshoot.
The access point GUI displays errors one at a time, and troubleshooting
can be a more time-consuming process.
NOTE For a discussion on the implications of replacing an existing Symbol
AP-4131 deployment with an AP-5131 or AP-5181, see
Replacing an AP-4131 with an AP-5131 or AP-5181 on page B-18.
