Hello,
I have an access point, air-ap4800-e-k9 model. But I could not configure it.
Firstly, I connect it power machine , it power AP with poe.
I access ap with console cable. Then I connect it with controller.
But it does not broadcast. I am new in network device.
How can I configure AP?
Thank you.

1. From poe+ power machine interface, I dont see how much power is switching, its state poe+ feeding mode.
2. I access ap with console I see CAPWAP discovery. I think capwap image loaded. I try to load mobility express but I didnt.
3. I dont know DHCP option 43. I try to enable it but I could not see from console. How it works and How can enable it?
4. I dont know the firmware is running on WLC. And I dont reach WLC I did not configure it and I do not know username and password.

You need to confirm that. AP requires, a minimum of, 30.0w. If the switch can only provide 20.0w (or less) then the AP will power up but, for obvious reasons, the radios will all be down.

Well, you need to find this out. 4800 requires a minimum of 8.7.X.X. If the WLC is running an earlier version the AP won't join the controller.
