1310 Autonomus to LAP conversion

Hi all,
Customer of mine has 20 AP AIR-BR1310G-E-K9. No controller installed. He use them as Autonomous AP.
Right now he wants indroduce a WLC. Due to that every single AP must be converted in LAP AP.
Anyone can tell me wether this is possible or not ?
is this action free of charge ? Nedd I SMARTENT COVERAGE ?
any Cisco documentation is more than welcome:)
Thank in advance
CARLO

Hi Carlo,
If the customer is planning to use WLC then yes all the AP's has to be converted from IOS to Light Weight (LWAP) AP. This can be done freely provided you have the correct software image. You should be able to download this from the Cisco site and you wont need to have a SMARTNET as long as you can get the images from Cisco site by other means:-)
Below url will guide you with the procedure.

Also please be aware that "All 1310 AG access points can operate at AP Mode not as Bridge Mode"
Hope this helps.

Cisco 1310 Roam Settings

I am trying to optimize my roam settings on a Cisco 1310 operating in WGB mode. The WGB will roam around and connect to various 1310s configured in LAP mode.
There are some optional settings that can be set including changing the beacon retries, data retries and also the RSSI level to force the WGB to roam if the RSSI reaches a certain level.
Does anyone know of any issues with these settings? For instance, I run my network at 9Mbps and want to force a roam when the RSSI reaches -77dB or worse.
Is it better to force this parameter or to just use default Cisco settings?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Cisco does detail the changes you can make but they don't go into much detail about the reasons for making changes to these options.
James

It depends a lot on the moving speed of the device. We've seen 10km/h WGBs and 80km/h WGBs mounted on trains.
It also depends on the coverage density. I never saw 2 situations where the same settings would work. It's more like a "try and see if it gives good results".

LAP to AP conversion

Hello, I have a question on a Cisco AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 with LAP image it´s possible to load an Autonomous image?
I have done it but with Access Points that had form factory an AP image change it to LAP and then return the original AP image, but on an Access Point with LAP image from factory convert it to AP I´m not sure is possible.
Thaks.

Yes, there are multiple ways of doing this.
this post describe one way of doing this. Hope that is useful

Upgrade AP o LAP Aironet 1310

Hi Friends
I have 15 APs Aironet 1310 on the network and I wish to purchase a wireless LAN controller to manage a new wireless mesh network that will be implemented, however we also integrate the existing Access Point 1310. It is possible that my current Access Point 1310 can be changed in its mode of operation o Lightweight AP?
The current version of IOS is:
System Software Version: 12.4 (10b) JA
Bootloader Version: 12.3 (2) JA3
I thank you infinitely for your help.
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,
You can convert the AP from Autonomous to LWAP using the Conversion Tool. 1310 is supported.

1242 and 1310 LAP - Mesh Topology

Hi,
We have project with 4402 Controller with 1310 LAP's. 1310 LAP doesn't support mesh topology. 1242 LAP does. Can I use 1310 LAP as root AP and 1242 LAP's as Mesh APs. Does it work?
Thanks

No, that won't work. For an AP to be a RAP it must have the bridging image loaded and have its role set to be a RAP.

Conversion of an AIR-AP1120B from autonomous to LAP

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert the AIR-AP1120B from autonomous to LAP?

Hi Federico,
Sadly, the 1120 with "B" Radio is not supported :(
Support for the 1121 was added in WLC version 4.0.155.0 Have a look at these related docs;
Software release 4.0.155.0 New Features
LWAPP for Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points (802.11g radio only) Allows the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point to be upgraded from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode using the autonomous to lightweight mode upgrade tool.
Note You must install software release 4.0.155.0 on the controller before connecting 1100 series access points to the controller.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/prod_release_note09186a00806e8989.html#wp147320
LWAPP Upgrade Tool Troubleshoot Tips
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072d9a1.shtml
Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later before you use the upgrade tool.
System Requirements
You can use the Autonomous to Lightweight Mode upgrade tool to install Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JX on these access points:
**All 1100 series access points containing MP21G (802.11g) radios
All 1130, 1230, and 1240 series access points
All modular 1200 series access points running Cisco IOS software and containing these supported radios:
802.11g: MP21G, MP31G
802.11a: AIR-RM21A-x-K9, AIR-RM22A-x-K9
All 1300 series access points in access point mode
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/ios/release/notes/b311jx1.html
Cisco has released a free tool called the "Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool" that allows selected Cisco Aironet autonomous access point models to be configured for lightweight mode operation.
The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports the following models:
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series access points
Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series access points
Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G-x-K9) and/or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A-x-K9 or AIR-RM22A-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points
**Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g radios (AIR-AP1121G-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points/Bridges (AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R). A Cisco Aironet 1300 Series operating in Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) mode only operates as an access point. This series does not support LWAPP bridging mode.
The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports a process to migrate an autonomous access point from autonomous mode to lightweight mode. Unlike a VxWorks to Cisco IOS Software upgrade, this process is a Cisco IOS Software upgrade to the existing Cisco IOS Software image-not an operating system "swapout". In converted access points operating in lightweight mode, Cisco IOS Software continues to run on the access point, while LWAPP is used to communicate with a wireless LAN controller. Since LWAPP supports automatic access point configuration, there is no need to retain or convert the original autonomous Cisco IOS Software access point configuration.

1142 LAP-to-Autonomous Conversion

Guys -
Ordered an AIR-AP1142N-A-K9, but they shipped the LWAPP version. I know with a 1252 I can convert to IOS using the archive command, which is available by issuing "debug lwapp console cli" to enable full IOS command set. This does not work on the new 1142. Anyone know what the new command is?
Regards,
Scott

Have you tried this way.... but you would need an IOS code. If you are consoled and you hold the reset for 20 seconds and let go, does it look for an image? I'm wondering if you can or not convert.... though I heard someone say that you can't.... might be wrong though.
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file for a 1142 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.
Step 4 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1140-k9w7-tar.default for a 11400 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 9 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 10 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

1310 Light Weight Access Point

How can i convert 1310 LAP to autonomous.

Hi Sreejith,
This is a little harder than most conversions due to the fact that the 1310 does not have a "Mode" button. It is possible though, have a look at this thread;
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=General&topicID=.ee6e8b8&fromOutline=&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddfe978

Resetting a LAP

So supposing I have a LAP that I move from one WLC to another WLC on a different subnet. I reset this very same AP to factory settings using the mode button, when I attempt to join to the 2nd WLC I have issues with the AP retaining its previous IP settings, if this is the case is my only recourse to manually configure the LAP with the following commands?
AP#lwapp ap ip address <IP address> <Subnet Mask>
AP#lwapp ap ip default-gateway <IP-address>
AP#lwapp ap controller ip address <IP-address>
Shouldnt the reset from the mode button have cleared it to the point where I have a factory-default AP?

Hi Rene,
I'm not sure if this is described as a "best practice" but for us it is. There are numerous reasons that the setting of a Username/Password on an LWAPP AP becomes a valuable step in the configuration process;
Resetting the LWAPP Configuration on a Lightweight AP (LAP)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_tech_note09186a00808e2d27.shtml
Deleting the LWAPP Configuration File to Redeploy the AP
When you redeploy an access point after moving it from one location to another, you must first delete the LWAPP configuration file and restore the access point to the factory default settings. Deleting the LWAPP configuration enables the commands on the access point console to configure the static IP address on the access point, the IP address on the controller, the access point hostname, and the default gateway IP address.
To delete the LWAPP configuration and restore the factory defaults, enter the following command in EXEC mode on the access point console:
clear lwapp private-config
The clear lwapp private-config command becomes available on the access point console after the controller pushes a new username and password to the access point.

Here is the step that you can try :-
LWAPP to autonomus AP converstion steps
Here is a example steps for you:
Step 1 The PC you intend to use must be configured with a static IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1100-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 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 c1100-k9w7-tar.default for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line 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 status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), and release the MODE button.
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, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI.

Can autonomous and LAPs co-exist?

I have an existing roaming 2.4 wireless network which consists of 4 autonomous 1242 APs. I need to expand the coverage area.
Can I add a controller and LAPs with the same SSID and expect my clients to roam from the autonomous AP to the LAP?
Or do I need to replace the 4 1242s with LAPs?
Thanks

The code you would need is here:

Configuration of a Point to MultiPoint link with Cisco Aironet 1310 bridges

Hi All,
The previous problem of which I started another conversation here:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=General&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddba023
somehow dissapeared. It could have been a problem of interferences.
I have another issue with other (multipoint) wireless WAN link, which I hope has a solution.
On the central node, we have an Cisco Aironet 1310 bridge configured as root-bridge. It has a panel of four vertical polarity 17 dBi panel 90? antennas, with more than enough gain (there is a 250 mWatts 802.11 b/g amplifier, before the 4-way splitter) and excellent line of sight to three remote bridges.
The three (03) remote bridges are also Aironet 1310 models, confidured as non-root-bridges.
The problem we have is that it seems that when the three remote links operate concurrently the amount of lost packets is huge. When I shutdown the radio interfaces of two bridges, the remaining bridge makes an excellent link with the central node.
It seems that some hours are more critical than others, also the links operate much worse when there is some (small) network traffic in them.
I have read the 1310 manuals, and I can't find a sample configuration for point to multi-point links.
Does someone knows what radio interface configuration should I need to use to establish better quality communication?
I mean, perhaps the 1 x root - 3 x no root configuration is not recommendable for the multipoint link configuration.
Any hints will be welcome.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Hi All,
Thank you for the information. I configured the distance on the root bridges, but the links showed instability.
I'm using a bi-directional amplifier. It has two pieces. According to the manuals, one is installed indoors, the other outdoors. I'm not sure if the indoors piece has the transmition module or it's only the injector.
We could establish connection at 7 km (around 4 milles) distance from the central point, using 24 dBi antennas on the other side.
However, we have issues with a near located point that is only 1.2 Km (around 0.8 milles) away and has a 13 dBi integrated patch antenna. The signal strenght value we get there is in the -62 to -68 dBm range, and is noticiably (5-10 dBm) lower than the strenght we get at other points of the link. And I have trouble establishing a high quality link with that point, using OFDM modulation. I tend to think that if I remove the amplifier I'm not going to reach that point at all. The EIRP on the central iste is 34 dBm / 2.5 watts, without amplifier it would be 26 dBm / 0.4 watts.
On the opposite sites the EIRP is 33 dBm / 2 watts using CCK or 28 dBm / 0.63 watts using OFDM.
When one looks at the central site from that point, an Motorola Canopy with passive reflector (EIRP 48 dBm or around 64 watts) can be seen. It doesn't have the same direction, but the opposite site must be large distance and could interfere with my wireless network. Attached is an amplified photo of the view. It's safe to assume that the Canopy operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
Once I connect the point at 1.2 Km, the multipoint link loses its quality, and soon the lost packets get too frequent.
The CCK seems to be much more interfered than OFDM, I guess because of that canopies.
Another thing I'm wondering about is if the Aironet 1310 can continuosly switch CCK-OFDM over the same point - multipoint link, without losing packets.
What other parameters should I tweak? Is there a way to avoid interferences fromt the canopy?
I would like to apply 100 mWatts local power using the radio with OFDM, but it seems that's not possible.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Problem converting any AP to LAP - Cert not yet valid

All, I have a problem trying to convert APs to LAP.
I have the following scenario:
- 2 WLC 5508.
- For the WLC the image is 7.0.220.0
- 10 APs registered. 7 Cisco 1310 and 3 Cisco 1242.
- Time on the WLC indicates is July 4th 2013 - 19:20:00
I have 5 more APs ( Cisco 1231G and Cisco 1310) all of them are Autonomous.
Im using the Cisco upgrade tool, which I already use to convert the first 10 APs, and I have over and over the same problem, no matter if I use the Cisco 1231 or the Cisco 1310. Once I run the upgrade tool, in the middle of the process I had the following error on the AP:
*Mar 1 00:15:15.088: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

I tried setting manually the clock and also using the clock of the WLC, but with the same result.
I also tried to convert manually, but with the same result.
Also Im using c1310-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar and c1200-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar
Please, I really need your help because Im stuck with this problem!!.
Thank you all!!

WGB with AP1310 and LAP with WLC in 4.1

I make a WGB with a autonomous AP1310 and an LAP manage by a WLC2006 in 4.1 version.
The bridge is up and working, but it's very strange:
- The bridge is up and i can always ping the IP of the BRI interface of the 1310.
- When the bridge go up, i see the IP of computer behind the 1310 in a Wireless client list of the controler, but i can ping it only 25% of time.
- If i wait a long time, the MAC/IP are leaving the Wireless client list of the controler and i can ping the computeur. At this time, if i do a "debug arp enable" on the controler i didn't see ARP response from the controler for computeur bihind the bridge.
Does anyone have the same problem ? Does anyone do WBG with controler in 4.1 ? Any issues ?
Thanx for your help.

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt replies.
@Saritha:
1. On new document Save call is giving message as "NOT Modified", as i didn't perform any actions.So Yes, I'm able to perform SAVE.
2. Yes, I have performed other operations like creating a Report.
@Eric: 3. Yes, the folder which I'm trying to save is writable for the user.
My Observation: When I'm trying to 'SAVE AS' on new document its giving 500 error as I said earlier.
1. But, after creating new document, I created a new Report for that document, then 'SAVE AS' working. That means after performing some action/modifying the document 'SAVE AS' is working for me.
2. Same issue(500 error) observed when trying to perform 'SAVE AS' call on the EXISTING document as well (which is create in BI Launchpad, refreshing and working fine).
So, is it mandatory to perform any action (which brings the document to Modify mode [i guess]) before this 'SAVE AS' call ?
Thanks,
Ram
