This should be supported, but we currently have a known issue with the AP7522E being converted via upgrade to v5.9.2:

AP7522E v5.9.2.1 ignores adopt request from regular sku AP75xx with the following message.

Jul 24 15:10:10 192.168.3.158 2018-07-24T15:12:17.010422-07:00 AP7522VC DPD2: 2018-07-24 15:12:17 mlcp.c:946 mlcp_handle_discover Ignoring discover from non-WiNG Express device

We have SPR (Software Problem Report) #3484 against this issue and issue will be resolved in a future v5.9.x release.

For the time being, I would not configure an AP7522E v5.9.2 as VC redundant until we resolve SPR #3484.

As Chris Frazee mentioned, you might want to hold off on configuring the AP7522E as VC redundant, until SPR #3484 is resolved.

But to answer your question, the setting is at the bottom of the General page:

Hi
is SPR #3484 is resolved yet does this apply to the AP7532, @ FW5.9.2.1
Is there a setup guide / best practice guide ?

Fix for SPR #3484 is in WiNG v5.9.3.0 and higher.

OK,
just waiting for our GTAC+ to be setup so I can get access to the FW for the AP's on support

Thanks

No problem Phil and documentation is located where firmware is on the Extreme Portal.
