Hi community>

we have 20 AP on network and 1 Zd1200 firmware 10.1.1.0 build 79. before accident everything was working fine.
so after Zd1200 give us are problem we had to send to warranty then we update 10 AP to unleashed firmware 200.8.10.3.243 and 1 as Master .
so now after receive my ZD1200 from warranty I need to add my AP unleashed on ZD1200. what I need to do?
and AP are not update firmware are still on ZD1200

Yes, that capability was added in 200.6 or maybe 200.7.  We've used it several times typically when forced to substitute 9U1 APs in place of 901 APs due to shortages.  For example, a customer might have a rush order for 20 standard R510 APs and there are zero available from any distributor - and none due in to Ruckus for 5 or 6 weeks.   At the same time, there might be plenty of Unleashed R510 APs in distribution, so we would buy 20 of those.  In the distant past, we would have to painstakingly upgrade one at a time as you suggested.  But now all you do is log in to the Master and upgrade with the base code and then he upgrades everyone else.  Works like a champ.

Hi David,

Thanks for the confirmation!

PS - Anytime an end user is buying a ZD1200 and 10 or more APs, it is almost always better to buy 5 fewer licenses and add a second ZD1200.  Buying 5 fewer licenses offsets most of the cost of the second ZD, and adding the second ZD, gives the end user SmartRedundancy which will protect against an outage should there ever be a controller failure.   Depending on the end user's discount from the partner, the incremental cost of the second ZD will typically be only $200 to $300.
