Move 1300 bridge from 1030WLSE to 5500 WLC

[wilddoktor-sp]

Product/Model Number:	AIR-BR1310G-A-K9
System Software Filename:	c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA
System Software Version:	12.3(7)JA
Bootloader Version:	12.3(2)JA4

We have several of these bridges hanging around; would like to move them one at a time from our 1030WLSE to our 5508WLC (software 7.0.235, so they're compatible).

The bridges are all connected to power injectors (AIR-PWRINJ-BLR2). With our 1200's, we apparently just unplug power, hold mode button, plug in power, release mode after about 4 seconds, and they find the new controller (I haven't tried it yet to confirm, but that's what Google...err...Cisco...says will work!).  But obviously there's no "mode" or reset button on either the power injector or the bridge itself.

Thoughts? (Other than "shut down the old controller and the bridges and APs will find the new controller". I'll do that at some point, but want to test first with some spare bridges / APs.)

Thanks!

Well first off, as long as the 1300 is an access point, it can join the WLC.  If the 1300 will be a bridge, then it will not be managed by the WLC.

Here is a post that might help... it was converting lwapp to autonomous, but can be used vice versa.
