it it possible to use one of these on my own network and if so how do i access the default ip and configure the access point

You may need autonomous image - e.g. c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JD16.tar (usually those AP got lightweight image & need WLC to manage them),if you have console cable pls check what image it got. Below post may help you for conversion (as long as you got right image)

i dont have a console cable but i will make one and see about connecting to the 1040

[GrahamProut2524]

i have the file c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JD16.tar on my pc and i can remote in via console port now, how do i check what version i have installed and upload/install the file you have pointed me to.

Thanks

Use the commands 'dir' or 'show version' to know what is installed and how much disk space is free.

Thanks patoberli

I have image on 1040 now after a lot of searching i have come up with this:-

Enable
debug capwap console cli
conf t
ip default-gateway 192.168.0.16
int g0
ip address 192.168.0.7 255.255.255.0
no sh

exit

exit
archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://192.168.0.16/c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JD16.tar

and can now get to the gui of the device my next part is how to config the access point to mach into my existing network to broadcast my ssid and key.

i have downloaded cna-windows-k9-installer-5-6-3-en.exe which the gui points to but ahh doesn't support the 1040.

a lot more reading and trying to config the access point

Hi @patoberli

I did this little manual for CSC Spanish but it has a lot of images and goes step by step. Let me know if it works for you.

[GrahamProut2524]

Thank you for the pdf i will have a look at over the weekend 

[patoberli]

The manual looks good, but I have a few suggestions. Leave away TKIP, that is an old encryption, which is not anymore working good and also blocks all 802.11n and newer speeds. It also tends to create compatibility problems with Apple devices, if both AES and TKIP are enabled.
You find a lot of other configuration examples here: https://mrncciew.com/category/autonomous-ap-config/
