Dear Joseph
The model you have mentioned is lightweight access point and you can only configure it with Wireless Controller.
If you want to run this AP in standalone mode, you have to convert its IOS from lightweight to standalone. then you can also access using GUI.
Following are the steps for conversion.
The image that is on the device is LWAPP one, not the autonomous.. if you want to use the AP in autonomous mode then the image should be W7.. that is..
c1232-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar not c1232-rcvk9w8-tar.124-23c.JA.tar
I request you to do download any image from the below link and perform the conversion from LWAPP image to autonomous..

the methos to convert is..
download TFTPd32 from google and install it on ur PC.. point the image that you have downloaded in the TFTP server..
connect a ethernet cable between ur laptop and AP.. both should be in the same subnet.. and connect a console cable and get the hyperterminal console access and issue the command.. make sure you are able to ping the PC and the AP and vice versa!!

AP#debug lwapp console cli or debug capwap console cli
AP#config t
AP(confg)int fa 0
AP(confg-if)ip addr (same subnet as that of the laptop)
