This appendix provides instructions for upgrading a non-IOS 1200 series access point to IOS operation without preserving the existing configuration. The access point configuration is set to default values.
If you want to only upgrade a non-IOS 1200 series access point to IOS operation and not preserve the existing configuration, you can use the 1200 series helper image file to upgrade the access point. The procedure described in this section uses your browser interface and the access point's GUI interface.
 |
Note Cisco recommends that you use the access point's console port to monitor messages during the upgrade process. This allows you to determine when the upgrade process is complete and the access point is rebooting. If you are unable to use the console port, Cisco recommends that you use the conversion tool for the IOS software upgrade. The conversion tool indicates when the upgrade process is complete. |
To upgrade the access point, follow these steps:
Step 2 Use your browser to connect to the non-IOS 1200 series access point.
Step 3 Click Setup on the Summary Setup window.
Step 4 Under Services, click Cisco Services.
Step 5 Under Fully Update Firmware, click Through Browser.
Step 6 Browse to the helper image file using the Browse button.
Step 7 Click Browser Update Now. The upgrade process begins.
When the upgrade completes, a message appears indicating that you should wait 30 seconds for the access point to reboot.
 |
Caution The total IOS software upgrade process can take from 5 to 30 minutes. Do not remove power to terminate the upgrade process because your access point will become inoperable. |
|
Caution If you are using the console port, the "Cisco IOS automatic field upgrade image, ESC to terminate" message appears. Do Not press the Esc key because your access point will become inoperable. |
 |
Tip Your IOS 1200 series access point is now configured with default parameters. |
To access your IOS access point, you can browse to your access point's IP address and use Cisco as the username and password.
