SSR Universal ISO Installation Overview
Beginning with version 6.3.0, the SSR uses a single downloadable ISO with a significantly simplified installation process. After the SSR installation completes, the GUI provides clear choices and processes for each of the device configuration options: Conductor, a Conductor-managed router, or a Mist-managed router.
