1142N unable to open Web GUI and CMD line options not available

Question

I am currently trying to configure two 1142N APs (AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9) to be stand alone APs. I have followed the PDFs
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_8_JA/configuration/guide/s38frst.html#wp1103248
and
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_2_JA/configuration/guide/s32frst.html#wp1103310
I set up the switch to provide DHCP and confirmed that each AP is indeed assigned an IP address. I can also ping each device. However when trying to browse to the GUI it fails to connect. So I tried to configure it via the CMD line. The enable mode does not give the option to configure interfaces as you would expect in enable mode nor does it give the option to enter global exec. example of the out put below.

It seems that the IOS on this device does not have the capability to configure the AP as stand alone or that it has been disabled. How do I get into the CMD line to configure the AP for deployment?
Secondly since I could not configure it via the CMD line I attempted to connect to it via the GUI like I said above. This fails. I ran an NMAP to find out what is open and found that nothing but port 23 is open. What is the deal here? Is the web GUI shut off by default? Am I just totally missing something? I think I dies a little inside after this...help please?
