This topic explains how to determine which software image is running on the IW9167EH access point, and describes the relationship between image files and operating modes such as CAPWAP, Cisco URWB, and WGB/uWGB.

The IW9167EH access point stores multiple software images under different folders on the same partition, and the image selected determines the device's operating mode.

The following image shows the folder structure where software images are stored on the IW9167EH:

  • CAPWAP mode uses the ap1g6a-k9w8-xxx.tar image file.

  • Cisco URWB mode uses the ap1g6j-k9c1-xxx.tar image file.

  • WGB/uWGB mode also uses the ap1g6j-k9c1-xxx.tar image file.
