Yes you can. If your AP is lightweight you will have to convert that to autonomous. Here is a link on basic configuration of autonomous AP.

Yes, we can configure aironet 1600 standalone without WLC.

You can refer the guide link and the below configuration-

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp160918

LWAPP to IOS

The hardware used = 1141 AP (make sure we are using the right image)

c1140-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar not c1140-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..

http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/PlatformList.x?sftType=IOS+Software&mdfid=282439881&treeName=Wireless&mdfLevel=Model&url=null&modelName=Cisco+Aironet+1140+Access+Point&isPlatform=N&treeMdfId=278875243&modifmdfid=null&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst...

the methods 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>en

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)

AP(confg-if)end

AP#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp:///

AP#archieve download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.5/c1140-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar

The above command will do it for you!!

IOS TO LWAPP

Now to reconvert the AP back to LWAPP..

Download the LWAPP image(W8) from the Cisco website and get the console access the AP and just issue the command..

archive download-sw/overwrite/force-reload tftp:////

AP#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.5/c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-23c.JA.tar

I assume we have the TFTPd32 downloaded from Google and in the TFTPd32 pointing to the image

Thanks a lot  for the solution. I also suggest the same solution to the submitter.

Hi!

Would you be so kind and tell me you experience with 1600 series regarding conversion to autonomous mode.

Abhishek suggested you certain procedure but as I notice he/she did it with 1141 AP.

Have you actually try this procedure on 1600 AP?

Maybe I missed something, but I tried several times and it doesn't work.

Thanks,

K

why does Cisco not upgrade their tool to convert newer APs from standalone to lightweight pls ?>

it is very useful when you have a couple of APs to do them at once
