IOS upgradation to wireless access point

Hi,

we are planning to deploy cisco virtual wireless controller 7.4 version

we have LWAP cisco 1600i series AP's of 40..

As per docs, we understood that to make join a access point to the controller, we need to upgrade a AP to 7.4 image.Is the only way or is there other route to workout ?

1. is there any procedure or video demo for how to upgrade

2. Is there any free tool can we get to upgrade at a time 40 Aps should we do individually

Regards

The 1600 AP runs 7.4 code, so you don't need to do anything with that.

You do need to configure the APs in FlexConnect mode before they'll work though if you're using a virtual controller.

Means, No need to change the IOS ?

we had experienced that 2600i series AP has been upgraded to 7.3 through 7.3 verson
controller, is that not applies to 7.4 Acess points?

Is any difference btn 7.3 and 7.4 version..

I have configured VWLC and Access point got IP and from AP to controller is pinging but
not joining, but it is in local mode.

Should we change to flex mode before join AP ?
