Configure AIR-AP1850 as Standalone

[twanaothman]

Hello,

I have no experience with Cisco wireless products and  I have a single Cisco AIR-AP1850 and want to configured as standalone but this message didn't allows me to do anything (CAPWAP State: Discovery).

Someone suggested that I need to upgrade the firmware then I purchased this (AIR-AP1850-K9-ME-8-8-111-0) from Cisco but still didn't allow me to upgrade the image while there is ping between AP and TFTP server and logs shows that transferring image were successful  

TFTP server logs  is attached and your commend is highly appropriated 

show version output 

cisco AIR-AP1852I-E-K9 ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l) with 997268/784320K bytes of memory

New Image name :

AIR-AP1850-K9-ME-8-8-111-0

you need to have a .tar image if you want to convert from CAPWAP to ME.

.ZIP file are used to upgrade the ME software on AP.
