AP 1240 no Boot files

[robertQ]

Hi everyone,

i got my hands on an old AP.
While it boots, the CLI shows an error.

The system is unable to boot automatically because there are no bootable files to boot.

It was a lightweight OS, i made a mistake.

 delete /recursive /force flash:c1240-.....

and now i have a Problem, i got "c1240-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar"

but i dont no how to install it or how i get it on the AP

it just shows over a very long time

Retry 0: Got fd for sector ACK 

I use minicom und tried xmodem, but i dont know how to install it.

Regards Robert

post is already marked as solved but if you encounter problems when executing the above procedure you can try this
- configure tftp server
- acquire image and rename to .default
- use mode button and power on
