Hi I have seen steps to convert it for mobility express version from capwap . but i see only those are for 1850 2800 . In the cisco software download for mobility express i cannot see for 1815w mobility express . Do you have any idea whether cisco air 1815w supports mobility express for site survey .

and if supports which software version i have to download .

Also In physical ap i dont see a RJ45 console port , how can i take an console for this access point .
