how to convert AIR-AP1041N (autonomus) to AIR-LAP1041N (lwapp)

[Krzysztof Szczotka]

Hi,

some days ago I succesfully converted  AIR-LAP1041N (lwapp) to AIR-AP1041N (autonomus).

I used  c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar which is available to download in Download Software Section for this AP.

But there are any autonomus to lightweigt firmware for this AP.

I tried to use  c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar for 1140 but AP hungs after that.

How can i back to LWAPP version in 1041?

but i connected this AP to dhcp server i see that AP recived IP address from DHCP i tries to search conntroller (i can see frames from AP in wireshark, req to DHCP for CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER).

so in next days i will try to connect AP to the controller (wlc is in different site, without vpn connectivity).

i think that AP is bad, because of this "weirid chars" on console, but maybe when ap updates firmware from wlc, it will be OK.

thanks for help for now.

If ur using the Hyperterminal.. go fo rthe right baud rates or restore defaults settings... i dont think there is an issue with the AP hardware.. try downloading the software again from the website and retry the process.. and another thing is.. see if it regusters ti the WLC!!

Hello,

First of all, exuse my poor english, i've faced the same problem while trying to convert 8 CISCO 1042n from Autonomous to LWAP.

Tthis morning i managed to fix it by trying to do the conversion with an old version of the IOS.

This it the first ios i tried to convert the AP with c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JX but failed, then i tried with this one

c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-23c.JA and every thing worked fine.

Regards.
