3700 AP - Best way to convert back from Autonomous to LIghtweight

I have a 3700 AP that I have up & running as Autonomous. I recently got a 2504 WLC and would like to put the AP back to Lightweight and run it from the 2504.  
The 2504 is running 8.0.110.0 code and I have the current 3700 Lightweight Recovery image and IOS downloaded as well. 
I have done done some searches and most of he articles are conversion to Autonomous. Not much is out there for putting it back. Some articles just mention needing the Lightweight  recovery image while others state I can use the Mode button and just have a TFTP server running  in a specific subnet and the AP will "pull" down the code and convert back.  Almost all of the articles refer to old model APs...
Looking for clarity in the process as I certainly don't want to brick this 3700 AP. 
Thx. 

Hi
You can use either methods & it will work (even for 3700)
If you using mode button method, make sure you rename the recovery image something like this ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default. Refer this post for detail

  • What's the best way to convert from Gmail to iCloud?

    I currently use Google's free exchange server and sync my contacts and calendar to Google even though I pretty much do all my emailing from either mac, iphone, or ipad. Since it sounds like it's hard to sync to both google and icloud at the same time, would like to make the switch. Is there a FAQ out there? Can I keep my google email and sync just the contacts w/iCloud or is it an all-or-nothing proposition? If so, is that what others do? Any advice / pointers appreciated. Thanks.

  • What is the best way to auto back up from a pc to time capsule?

    IN MY HOUSE WE HAVE ONE MAC AND THREE WINDOWS PCS/LAPTOPS. I AM LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAY TO AUTOMATICALLY BACK UP THE PCs TO THE TIME CAPSULE.

    windows 7 will not back up to a time capsule. because windows backup demands ntfs, and time capsules aren't true nas devices (they don't include the ability to fool windows into thinking its an ntfs partition)
    i thnk your going to need another back up utility for your windows computers, like maybe acronis or paragon or rdrive, etc etc
    theres nothing stopping you from copying files back and forth from a windows computer to a time capsule, but when it comes to windows backup it won't work

  • What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

    Hi,
    General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution.  If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
    I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
    I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI.  This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy.  More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
    Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi.  The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over.  I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
    One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them.  This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
    Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?

    You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level.  Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

  • What is the best way of converting everything in a result set into a string

    hello folks
    What do you think is the best way of converting everything in a resultset into a string???
    At the moment I'm using
    rs.getString(i);
    everywhere (no matter if the underlying datatype is a date or whatever..) it converts automatically evertything expect NULL into a valid string.
    Are there better (simple to use..) ways?

    I don't see a big switch construct. How about trying the following:
    Call this method from your original method by passing the resultset obtained.
    public String[] convert(ResultSet rs) {
         int col = ((ResultSetMetaData) rs.getMetaData()).getColumnCount();
         String[] record = new String[col];
         int i=0;
         while(rs.next()) {
              if(rs.wasNull()) record[i] = new String();
              else record[i] = rs.getString(i);
              i++;
         return record;

  • What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • What is the best way to convert mini dv tapes to digital

    I have a Canon ZR800 that I have created several mini dv tapes with.  What is the best way to convert these tapes I made to a digital format?  I have a Macbook to use for the digital format.

    Hello Jhoslter,
    To transfer footage from the ZR800 to your Mac, you will need a firewire (IEEE-1394) cable and a firewire port on your computer.  If your computer is not equipped with a firewire port, we would suggest contacting your computer manufacturer for information regarding which firewire card will work best on your system.
    As it is only possible to transfer video to a computer via firewire connection with the Canon camcorder, any video capturing program that supports firewire connections should be fine to use to transfer video to your computer.  Canon does not manufacture video capturing programs or support a particular brand.   
    Canon does not require firewire drivers for any of our miniDV camcorders.  Our camcorders use the driver for your firewire card to communicate with the computer.
    The appearance of the "DV IN" message in the camcorder's LCD screen indicates that the camcorder has detected your firewire port and is waiting for a signal from the video editing software to begin the transfer of footage.  The remainder of the transfer process is controlled by that software; we would suggest reviewing the instructions for that program for further information.

  • Looking for best way to convert 35 mm slides to digital images

    Hello Apple Community,
    Am researching best ways to convert several hundred 35 mm slides into digital images.  There are numerous scanners/converters out there but want to ensure I get the best unit compatable with my iMac (27 inch, Late 2009).  Any suggestions welcome.

    For scanning 35mm slides you need a scanner with a good photometric resolution and geometric resolution.
    For the photometric resolution: Get a scanner with a high density range (D-max) value, to get a good resolution of highlights and shadows.
    For the geometric resolution - sharpness and detail - try to get at least 3200 dp,i to be able to get good 8"x10" prints from your scanned slides, a higher dpi value, if you want to be able to print larger images.

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

    What is the  best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

    There is no one best way.  If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.
