Cisco Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance

A backup from this release of location appliance software cannot be restored on a location appliance 
running an earlier release. Before you upgrade a location appliance to this release, Cisco recommends 
that you create a backup for the earlier release and archive it. This will allow you to convert an upgraded 
system to an earlier release, if necessary.

If you download the server image *.gz file, the location appliance automatically decompresses (unzips) 
it, and you can proceed with the installation as before. If you manually download the compressed *.gz 
file using FTP, you must first decompress the files before running the installer. These files have been 
compressed under the LINUX operating system and must be decompressed using the gunzip utility 
program. The unzip method you use is defined by the filename you are trying to unzip. To make the bin 
file executable, use the following command:

chmod +x filename.bin

This section describes important operational notes for the location appliance. There are no new features
