Returning the Access Point to Autonomous Mode Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Lightweight Access Points Using a WLAN Controller to Return the Access Point to Autonomous Mode Follow these steps to revert from lightweight mode to autonomous mode using a controller: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated and enter this command: config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name (where: a) tftp-server-ip-address is the IP address of the TFTP server b) filename is the full path and filname of the access point image file, such as D:/Images/c1130-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA.tar c) access-point-name is the name that identifies the access point on the ocntroller.) Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green. After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the access point GUI or the CLI. Using the MODE Button to Return the Access Point to Autonomous Mode Follow these steps to return a lightweight access point to autonomous mode using the access point MODE button and a TFTP server: Note The access point MODE button is enabled by default, but you need to verify that the MODE button is enabled (see the "MODE Button Setting" section on page 4-11. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Set the static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs to an address between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30. Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1130-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA.tar for an 1130 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated. Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1130-k9w7-tar.default. Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable. Disconnect power from the access point. Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point. Hold the MODE button until the Radio LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release. Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green. After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the access point GUI or the CLI. 4-10 Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide OL-8369-05

Troubleshooting Lightweight Access Points

Returning the Access Point to Autonomous Mode

Using a WLAN Controller to Return the Access Point to Autonomous Mode

Follow these steps to revert from lightweight mode to autonomous mode using a controller:

Step 1

Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated and enter this command:

config ap tftp-downgrade

tftp-server-ip-address

filename

access-point-name

(where:

tftp-server-ip-address

is the IP address of the TFTP server

filename

is the full path and filname of the access point image file, such as

D:/Images/

c1130-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA.ta

access-point-name

is the name that identifies the access point on the

ocntroller.)

Step 2

Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED

blinking green.

Step 3

After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the access point GUI or the CLI.

Using the MODE Button to Return the Access Point to Autonomous Mode

Follow these steps to return a lightweight access point to autonomous mode using the access point MODE

button and a TFTP server:

Note

The access point MODE button is enabled by default, but you need to verify that the MODE button is

enabled (see the

“MODE Button Setting” section on page 4-11

Step 1

Set the static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs to an address between

10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.

Step 2

Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as

c1130-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA.ta

r for an

1130 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.

Step 3

Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to

c1130-k9w7-tar.default.

Step 4

Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.

Step 5

Disconnect power from the access point.

Step 6

Press and hold the

MODE

button while you reconnect power to the access point.

Step 7

Hold the

MODE

button until the Radio LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then

release.

Step 8

Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED

blinking green.

Step 9

After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the access point GUI or the CLI.
