4.8.1 Upgrade/Downgrade Considerations
When upgrading or downgrading AP-5131 configurations between the 1.0.0.0-XX (or 1.0.1.0-XX) and
1.1.0.0-XX baselines, the following should be taken into consideration as certain functionalities may
not be available to the user after an upgrade/downgrade:
• When downgrading from 1.1 to 1.0, the AP-5131 is configured to default values.
• After a downgrade from 1.1.0.0-XX to 1.0.0.0-XX, WLANs mapped to LAN2 would still be
usable, but now only available on LAN1. Once upgraded back to 1.1.0.0-XX, those WLANs
previously available on LAN2 would still be mapped to LAN2.
• If downgraded to the 1.0.0.0-XX baseline, and a restore factory defaults function is
performed, only 1.0.0.0-XX default values are restored to their factory default values. The
feature set unique to 1.1.0.0-XX can only be restored to factory default when the AP-5131
is running 1.1.0.0-XX firmware.
• Export either a CA or Self Certificate to a safe and secure location before upgrading or
downgrading your AP-5131 firmware. If the certificate is not saved, it will be discarded and
not available to the user after the upgrade or downgrade. If discarded, a new certificate
request would be required.
CAUTION Prior to upgrading/downgrading the AP-5131’s configuration, ensure
the AP-5131’s current configuration has been exported to a secure
location. Having the configuration available is recommended in case
errors occur in the upgrade/downgrade process.
