What does GA, GA refresh 1, GA refresh 2 mean?

I am getting ready to update a standalone R310 and 3 R710's to unleashed. I see three available firmwares, labeled GA, GA refresh 1, and GA refresh 2. What is GA? Which one should I use?

The latest version of Unleashed, version 200.7.10.102.64 is what your network upgrade will install, so you should start with the latest/greatest.
The "GA" acronym stands for General Availability, or our first release (first 2 digits), which are followed by Refresh(s), or the next MR (Maintenance Release).

My network upgrade fails, says "can't determine the control server IP" so I am getting ready to do it with a local file.

Like Michael said the latest version of a release will always be the most stable with the most bug fixes.

For an Unleashed network to setup correctly (any version), the APs look for a local DHCP server and def-gw.
Can you try setting up in the actual location/network you plan to use the APs?
When your network is setup, any version, and all APs recognized, you can do the Admin upgrade if/when there's Internet access.

I agree, I see the light now, just confused a little with the naming. by version number the one labeled refresh 1 is newer than refresh 2, but I see that refresh 2 file is of the 200.6.x.x.x flavor.

Currently running 104.0.0.0.1347 on the R310, it is deployed and functional in the location it's being deployed in. I am planning on adding 3 R710's and wanted to go to the unleashed platform.
