Selected image may not be valid for device type, AP1210.

Why do I recieve the following error from WLSE 2.7.1 when scheduling a firmware job to upgrade from 12.2(13)JA2 - 12.2(15)JA? I have no problems upgrading to this image from a command line using a TFTP server. Here is the output I receive from when I save the job. As a result of the Device-Image validation error , the job will fail.

Image selected c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar, Version 12.2(15)JA, Device type AP1200.

Note: Please refer to 12.2(15)JA release notes on Cisco.com for details on the image version, before applying it on the selected devices.

This job can take as long as 12 minutes to complete.

Log into the WLSE and go to Firmware->Images and check if you have imported the IOS image under the Device Type folder of of AP1210, if you have it under AP1200 you will get this error.

I have imported the image under AP1200 and AP1210.

I know that the upgrade will fail if you attempt to upgrade the AP directly throught the http interface.

This is because the new images are larger than the allowed limt for updates through the browser. All my updates from 12.2(11)JA to 12.2(15)JA had to be tftp'd to the devices. I did not have a wlse at my disposal, but if it attempts the update throught the browser interface of the AP, then i assume it would fail also.
