Specifying Minimum Firmware Versions for APs in a Group
This configuration is optional. AMP allows you the option of defining the minimum firmware version for each AP
type in a group on the Groups > Firmware configuration page. At the time that you define the minimum version,
AMP automatically upgrades all eligible APs.
When you add APs into the group in the future, you will be able to upgrade APs manually. The firmware for an
AP is not upgraded automatically when it is added to a group. Perform the following steps to make this firmware
configuration.
1. Browse to the Groups > Firmware configuration page. Figure 61 illustrates this page.

2. For each device type in the group, specify the minimum acceptable firmware version. If no firmware versions
are listed, go to the Device Setup > Firmware configuration page to upload the firmware files to AMP.
3. Select Upgrade to apply firmware preferences to devices in the group. Refer to the firmware upgrade help
under APs/Devices > Manage configuration page for detailed help on Firmware job options.
4. Select Save to save the firmware file as the desired version for the group.
5. If you have opted to assign an external TFTP server on a per-group basis on the Device Setup > Firmware
configuration page, you can enter the IP address in the Firmware Upgrade Options field on the top of this
configuration page.
6. Once you have defined your first group, you can configure that group to be the default group on your network.
When AMP discovers new devices that need to be assigned to a management group, the default group appears
at the top of all drop-down menus and lists. Newly discovered devices are place automatically in the default
group if AMP is set to Automatically Monitor/Manage New Devices on the AMP configuration page.
7. Browse to the Groups > List configuration page.
8. From the list of groups, check the Default radio button next to the desired default group to make it the
default.
