Upgrading Mobility Express new added APs in a mixed structure

[l.buschi]

I have 2 working AP 2800 Series, both with ME functionality and version 8.10.113. They are configured and in a production network.

Now I have to add to my network 15 new APs 1832 series. They come from vendor with 8.5 version and capwap firmware.

How can I associate my capwap 1832s to my ME controller if they come with a different version?

many tks

Take a look at some of the guides to “add access points to mobility express network”. Here are some:

And don't miss the fact that you need the AP images on a TFTP server where the APs can download from.
In that respect ME is different to WLC in that the APs cannot download the software from ME.
