AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 4-56
• Export either a CA or Self Certificate to a safe and secure location before upgrading or
downgrading your access point 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.
• Upgrading from v1.0.x.x to 1.1.x.x/1.1.1 is a two step process requiring the same upgrade
procedure to be repeated twice. The first upgrade will result in a bootloader change, and the
second upgrade will result in a firmware change. For subsequent upgrades, a single
download will suffice. Using Auto Update, the access point will automatically update itself
twice when upgrading. Upgrading from v1.0 to v1.1/v1.1.1 retains existing settings.
Motorola recommends that users export their 1.0 configuration for backup purposes prior to
upgrading. When downloading from v1.1.1/v1.1 to v1.0, all configuration settings are lost
and the access point returns to factory default settings.

deployment with an AP-5131 or AP-5181, see
