Aironet 2600 Series AP (AIR-CAP2602E) to Autonomous

[loolianwee]

Hi,

I purchased the AP wrongly, instead of getting the "Standalone/Autonomous" (AIR-SAP2602E) version but I purchased the controller-based version

(AIR-CAP2602E); my question is can I use "ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar" too flash it to a "Standalone/Autonomous" version?

If yes, can anyone help to point me to the right "Flashing method" and things required like console cable or just "ethernet cable" will do? Appreciate it!

[loolianwee]

Yes, all off.

Found the issue! Just rename the file extension and not the file name, the AP keep looking for ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default instead of c2600-k9w7-tar.default.... It is transfering the file now, i will update the status when completed. Finger crossed.....

That will do it... you can see the filename its looking for on the console when you relase the mode button.  

Thanks,

It does not go through, it gets timeout half way during trasnfer....

Verify the MD5 and make sure it matches.  Might have a corupt download image file.

There isnt a md5 for me to verify, i do not know the original md5.

When you download the image, if you hover your mouse over the filename, a pop up will appear with the MD5.
