Predownloading AP Image- 1240

[awatson20]

I have 2 controllers that are currently on software version 7.3.  I am planning on upgrading to 7.4MR2(7.4.121) and have not performed the pre-download process before.  In reading some of the restrictions, I am somewhat concerned with this.

Predownloading a 7.2 or later version of image on a Cisco Aironet 1240 access point is not supported

when upgrading from a previous controller release. If predownloading is attempted to the Cisco Aironet

1240 access point, the AP gets disconnected.

We do still have several 1240 AP's.  Does this only apply with you are upgrading from a release prior to 7.2?  Can someone please clarify?  Thanks.

There is not enough memory to be able to download a second image.  These AP's do not support it and the only way to upgrade them is to upgrade the WLC and reboot the WLC.  These will join and get the new image from the WLC.

Thanks,

Scott
