Appendix B Converting an Autonomous Access Point Using CCA to Convert an AP521 Access Point Note Save the copy of the image file to the PC where CCA is installed if you plan to use the Standard Mode when converting the access points (see Figure B-6 on page B-5); save the copy to a remote TFTP server if you plan to use Remote TFTP Server mode (See Figure B-7 on page B-5). Step 14 When the download completes, click Close. Step 15 Close your browser. Using CCA to Convert an AP521 Access Point CCA can be used to convert an AP521 access point into a lightweight LAP521 access point. Caution The CCA conversion process is a one-way process. CCA can only convert an AP521 into an LAP521. CCA cannot reconvert an access point back to autonomous operation. To convert an AP521 using CCA, follow these steps: Step 1 Check the topology view of your network to ensure an autonomous AP521 is available, such as Figure B-3. Note An autonomous access point is identified by a circle icon in a small box next to the access point, such as the AP521 with an IP address of 192.168.10.23 in Figure B-3. Note An AP521 must be added to the community, before the Convert to LAP option is visible. Figure B-3 Network Topology View Step 2 Click Configure > Wireless > Convert to LAP and Figure B-4 appears.

Using CCA to Convert an AP521 Access Point
CCA can be used to convert an AP521 access point into a lightweight LAP521 access point.
Caution
The CCA conversion process is a one-way process. CCA can only convert an AP521 into an LAP521.
CCA cannot reconvert an access point back to autonomous operation
.
To convert an AP521 using CCA, follow these steps:
Step 1
Check the topology view of your network to ensure an autonomous AP521 is available, such as
Figure B-3
.
Note
An autonomous access point is identified by a circle icon in a small box next to the access point,
such as the AP521 with an IP address of 192.168.10.23 in
Figure B-3
.
Note
An AP521 must be added to the community, before the Convert to LAP option is visible.
