Chapter 7 2.4-GHz Radio Upgrade
Upgrade Overview
Upgrade Overview
This section provides instructions for upgrading the access point 2.4-GHz radio.
Caution Your access point must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)JA or later before you upgrade to the IEEE
802.11g radio; otherwise your access point may not be able to complete the boot sequence until the radio
is removed. For additional information, refer to the “Finding the Software Version” section.
The following operations summarize the upgrade procedure:
1. Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.
2. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.
3. Place the access point on an ESD-protected work surface.
4. Open the access point’s 2.4-GHz radio access cover.
5. For an access point without a 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the blank spacer card.
6. For an access point with a 2.4-GHz radio feature, remove the existing 2.4-GHz radio card.
7. Install the new 2.4-GHz radio card.
8. Close the access point 2.4-GHz radio access cover.
Caution ESD can damage the Cisco Aironet radio and the internal components of the access point. It is
recommended that the 2.4-GHz radio upgrade procedures be performed by an ESD-trained service
technician at an ESD-protected workstation.
Note After you install the new radio, all configurable radio settings will be at default values. Refer to the Cisco
IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for complete instructions on
configuring the new radio.
