1232 AP as repeater

[Danny Mainprize]

Is it possible to set an Aironet 1232AG-A-K9 as a repeater while still using a 4402 controller?  I have some wireless security cameras in our parking lots that I need to extend wireless to and I have a handful of 1232 points that I am not using.  I have some omni antennas and a yagi directional that I was planning on using.

Everything I am reading talks about configuring the AP while in automous mode, not while running the lightweight image.

Anyone done this and can give me some guidance here?

Thanks

Repeaters are autonomous and will not connect to a WLC. You may want to look at this thread.

I cannot remember if the 1232 supports indoor MESH ( it is a little outdated ).

If it does, it should be possible for you to configure your network for MESH, and get the functionality you are looking for.

Cisco has lots of nice documents describing deployment and configuration:

Fx. : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/7.0/design/guide/MeshAP_70.html#wp1984711

Edit:

Maybe I should read the document myself one more time :-)

1232 is not mentioned - so properly not supported for MESH.
