How to unleash R350 Access Point (newcomer)?

Hello,

I've got my hand on a couple of used R350 Access Point I wish to use without external controller (I'm used to UniFi products with their "Network controller" self-hostable software): I understand "Unleashed" (where it installs a controller on one AP) is the solution.

How do I install Unleashed?

  1. I've downloaded the "RUCKUS Unleashed AP 200.19 (GA) Software Release for R350" from Software Downloads.
  2. Accessed https://192.168.0.1
  3. I've factory resetted the AP
  4. Then re-accessed https://192.168.0.1
  5. In the "Maintenance :: Upgrade" page, using "Local" Upgrade Method I've uploaded the "R350_200.19.7.11.283.bl7" file but I got (MD5 hash matches) an error:

    The following error occurred

    Bad header Magic. Possible reasons:file corrupted or data corruption during upload

I've found an old topic with similar issue where it recommands using TFTP upgrade via CLI (https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Unleashed/R350-trouble-unleashing/m-p/70395) but I'm not sure it's relevant for my situation.

As it's an used device I don't know it's currently "managed" but according to "get version" CLI command (see below) it's "Hotzone Wireless AP".

Here are some CLI command outputs:

rkscli: get version
Ruckus R350 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP
Version: 6.1.2.0.2230

 

rkscli: get scg

What are my options?
