Unable to configure 1602-i AP in any mode

[atultamhane]

hi,

this is Atul. I hope this forum helps me. I have a AIR-SAP1602I-N-K9 ap. It is a transfer from my one branch office to other. Since I have received it I am trying to reset it to factory defaults or in ROMMOn its not working. In which ever mode it boots it dose not allow me to enter config mode.

The O/p of sh command is like this

APf872.ea7c.7f6f#sh ?
  aaa                Show AAA values
  access-expression  List access expression
  access-lists       List access lists

Though it shows configuration option it dose not accept it. nither I am able to use Ctrl+Brk option as suggested to enter in ROMMON mode.

can you people help me.

Thanks in advance for your inputs to come ahead in times to come.

To factory reset, hold the mode button for 10 seconds and cycle the power. After 10 seconds release the mode button and that will factory reset your AP.  If you hold it longer (30 seconds), then it will go to ROMMON mode.

Atul, 

AP is in Recovery Mode as it is unable to find it's Controller.

If you use a WLC to manage your WAPs, use following command:

capwap ap controller ip address x.x.x.x 

Assign Static IP or use DHCP, Static configuration shown below:

capwap ap ip address a.b.c.d y.y.y.y

capwap ap ip default-gateway a.b.c.d

This process is called priming in the Cisco world.

Alternately, if you don't have a WLC upload a standalone IOS on the WAP and then you should be able to use your normal config commands.
