Upgrading IOS on Aironet 1310

[cameron.stephens]

I want to upgrade the IOS on a couple of our Aironet 1310s but do it wirelessly. The bridges I am upgrading are not accessible at the time I wish to carry out the work which is why I am not doing it via a wired connection. It isnt an ideal situation but an alternative requires an outage during working hours.

A recently purchased 1310 had a sticker on it saying the radio interface is disabled by default in newer IOS images. Does this mean that when I upgrade the software it will automatically disable the radio interface when I reload? If that is the case I will have no alternative but to organise an outage.

Don't do it! You'll end up with half an IOS and a busted bridge. (If I remember correctly it won't let you anyway). The only safe method of upgrading is through the bridge's ethernet I/F.
