AP 1600 Configuration

Bperry921 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 10:29:17 GMT

Hello All,

I'm having trouble resetting my wireless access point back to factory default settings. I'm using AIR-CAP1602. MAC OSX 10.10.3

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Please let me know.

hi, Is this AP running

hi,

Is this AP running autonomous software or is it controller based. If controller based, you can clear all config from the controller. If autonomous, hold down mode button while powering up AP. When LED is red, release mode button.

Thanks

John

Resetting to Default Settings

sobhardw — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 01:01:06 GMT

Resetting to Default Settings Using the MODE Button

Follow these steps to reset the access point to factory default settings using the access point MODE button:

Step 1 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.

Step 2 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.

Step 3 Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 1 to 2 seconds), and release the button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.

Resetting to Default Settings Using the GUI

Follow these steps to return to the default settings using the access point GUI:

Step 1 Open your Internet browser. The web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0 on Windows 98, 2000 and XP platforms, and with Netscape Version 7.0 on Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Solaris platforms.

Step 2 Enter the wireless device IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network Password window appears.

Step 3 Enter your username in the User Name field. The default username is Cisco.

Step 4 Enter the wireless device password in the Password field and press Enter. The default password is Cisco. The Summary Status page appears.

Step 5 Click System Software and the System Software screen appears.

Step 6 Click System Configuration and the System Configuration screen appears.

Step 7 Click the Reset to Defaults button to reset all settings, including the IP address, to factory defaults. To reset all settings except the IP address to defaults, click the Reset to Defaults (Except IP) button.

Hi,
I carried out the manual reset tests, now I have a flashing green LED, I do an nmap to find the IP address of the device, I find it but no port is open on that IP address (I should log into http, correct?) .
Thank you.

Is my AP a Standalone AP?

If i connect a rj45 cable into ethernet port, DHCP goes well and take the first IP available... but it cannot enable a web interface.

k9w8 is lightweight

k9w7 is standalone

Your ap is lightweight and are using a recovery image! Do you want it to be lightweight or standalone?

Hi.
Thank you for your reply.
For enabling web http to control router.
What version I need?
Thanks.

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

Denniz — Fri, 10 Feb 2023 17:52:36 GMT

If you want to use the web interface on the access point you need to convert it to standalone, to do that you will need the ap1g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JF15.tar file (https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284366503/type/284180979/release/15.3.3-JF15), to download that you will need a service contract. So, the question is, do you want to use it as standalone or as a controller based access point?

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

iteasyinformatica — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 00:38:06 GMT

Ok, i want to use it in standalone mode... How can i get a service contract?

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

Denniz — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 21:10:11 GMT

Do you want a service contract for just one ap?

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

iteasyinformatica — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 08:14:17 GMT

Hi,
I don't know what contract means.
First... I need to know if this access point may be controlled, for example, by a standard radius server or captive portal like pfsense builtin.
At least, I need to know if this service can be purchased without contract.
My customer has 10 access point to manage, not only one.
Thanks.

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

Denniz — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 08:39:47 GMT

It cannot be controlled by a radius server or captive portal, that is just the type of security the wlan uses. You need to have a controller to controll the ap, ex, 2504 or Mobility express.

Are all the access points 1600:s? Or are there atleast one .11ac ap? If so, you can use mobility express, it is free!

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

iteasyinformatica — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 08:59:06 GMT

Hi Denniz,

thank you for your reply.

All AP are Aironet 1600 series.

What is the version of Mobility Express compatible with my AP?

Thanks.

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

Denniz — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:06:44 GMT

Sadly, the 1600 series is .11n and is not comaptible with Mobility Express, you will need a controller or a service contract to use the access points.

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

JPavonM — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 14:59:43 GMT

To use a Mobility Express solution with all your AP1600's you would need to buy an AP from model 1815/1830/1850/2800/3800/4800 and run AireOS 8.5 at maximum.

Check this release notes.

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

iteasyinformatica — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 17:57:43 GMT

Ok, thank you all.

if I turned the access points into standalone mode, could I configure them with VLANs?

Thanks again

Re: AP 1600 Configuration

Scott Fella — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 21:41:34 GMT

A contract is basically you paying for support. This allows you access to the downloads. From what the others already posted, you can't use the 1600 as a standalone, so if you don't have a controller, the ap is basically useless.
