  3. In the AP Images for Platform drop-down list, click the appropriate platform.
  4. To select an image to be the default image for a software upgrade, click it in the list, and then click Set as default.
  5. In the Upgrade Behavior section, select one of the following:
    • Upgrade when AP connects using settings from Controlled Upgrade — The Controlled Upgrade tab is displayed when you click Save. Controlled upgrade allows you to individually select and control the state of an AP image upgrade: which APs to upgrade, when to upgrade, how to upgrade, and to which image the upgrade or downgrade should be done. Administrators decide on the levels of software releases that the equipment should be running.
    • Always upgrade AP to default image (overrides Controlled Upgrade settings) — Selected by default. Allows for the selection of a default revision level (firmware image) for all APs in the domain. As the AP registers with the controller, the firmware version is verified. If it does not match the same value as defined for the default-image, the AP is automatically requested to upgrade to the default-image.
  6. To save your changes, click Save.
