Netgear Business Central Wireless Manager (BCWM) 빠른 설정 가이드

If your access point runs a standalone firmware version that is earlier
than the minimum required standalone firmware version and you attempt
to upgrade directly to the required cloud-enabled firmware version, you
might be locked out of the access point’s web management interface. In
that situation, you must log in to the access point over an SSH connection
with the user name admin and the password that is configured for the
access point and issue the 

 command to

reset the access point to factory default settings.

If your access point is already cloud-managed by the BCWM 1.0 application, you can upgrade it to a state
in which it can be cloud-managed by the BCWM 2.0 application or a later version of the application. For
more information, see 

on page 12.

The upgrade procedures in this guide describe and include screen shots of the traditional
web management interface that is supported on most NETGEAR access points. However,
the WAC720 and WAC730 access points use a newer style web management interface.
The steps and screen shots for that interface are similar but not identical to the traditional
interface.

Follow this procedure if your access point runs the minimum required standalone firmware version (see the
table in 

 on page 6) or a later version,

but a version earlier than version 3.5.5.0 (or for the WAC720 and WAC730 access points, version 3.5.6.0).

If the access point runs firmware version 3.0.x.x or a later version but a version earlier than version 3.5.5.0,
by default, the access point is enabled for the cloud and you first must disable the cloud mode before you
can manually upgrade the firmware. This requirement does not apply to the WAC720 and WAC730 access
points.

Log in to the access point’s web management interface and perform the following steps:

If the access point runs firmware version 3.0.x.x or a later version but a version earlier than version
3.5.5.0, disable the cloud mode. (This step does not apply to the WAC720 and WAC730 access points.)

Upgrade the access point to the cloud-enabled firmware version 3.5.5.0 (or for the WAC720 and WAC730
access points, version 3.5.6.0) or a later version.

If you want the access point to become ready for cloud management, make sure that the access point
is connected to the Internet.

Reset the access point to factory default settings.

These steps are described in detail in the following procedure.

After you perform this one-time firmware upgrade for the access point and the access point becomes cloud
managed, the application can centrally manage future firmware upgrades for the access point.
