Cisco Cisco Aironet 340 Ethernet Bridges

Cisco Aironet Access Points contain wireless LAN transceivers that can act as the center point of a 
standalone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired networks. Cisco 
Aironet Bridges are wireless LAN transceivers that connect multiple remote networks into a single LAN. 

You must have a 340 or 500 series bridge or a 4800 series access point to install firmware version 8.80.

Your product must have firmware version 7.0 or later to upgrade to firmware version 8.80.

The firmware version number appears in the top left corner of the screen in the browser-based 
management system. To view the browser-based management system, type the device’s IP address in the 
Internet browser address line.

The bridges and access points support several methods to upgrade the firmware. This document provides 
instructions for using either the Internet browser or the serial console port to upgrade the firmware.
