If you scheduled a firmware upgrade, the upgrade occurs for major firmware releases only. The release
designation consists of four digits separated by dots (1.2.3.4). A major firmware release is a release in which
the third digit increases (1.2.3.4). For example, if access points at a location are running release 3.5.4.3
and release 3.5.4.6 is available, the scheduled firmware upgrade does not occur and you must upgrade
manually. However, if access points at a location are running release 3.5.4.3 and release 3.5.5.0 is available,
the scheduled firmware upgrade does occur.
