Downgrade 3600 Capwap AP to Autonomous 3600 AP

Question

Hello!
I have to prepare an 3600 Capwap AP for autonomous functionality!
The following image was downloaded:
ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JA
The release notes say:
Site-Survey Only Mode for 3600, 3500, and 1550 Access Points
You can install Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)JA on Cisco Aironet 3600 and 3500 Series access points and on 1550 series outdoor access points to perform site surveys. This release runs on these access points with limited functionality. You can manually adjust these settings on the site-survey access points:
• Channel on each radio
• Transmit power on each radio
• Enable and disable the radios
• Manually set basic and supported transmit rates
• Enable advertised cell power in beacons to client to enable DTPC for doing active surveys
• Enable and disable SSID broadcast in beacons
• Enable open authentication
My Question is:
Where can i find a instruction for downgrading an AIR-CAP3602i to Autonomous 3600 AP?
Is it complicate to get the AP running, or what do i need for "downgrading"?
thx 4 help

Answer 1

the methos to convert is..
download TFTPd32 from google and install it on ur PC.. point the image that you have downloaded in the TFTP server..
connect  a ethernet cable between ur laptop and AP.. let both be in the same  subnet.. and connect a console cable and get the hyperterminal console  access and issue the command.. make sure you are able to ping the PC and the AP and vice versa!!
AP>en
AP#debug capwap console cli
AP#config t
AP(confg)int gi 0
AP(confg-if)ip addr (same subnet as that of the laptop)
AP(confg-if)end
AP#archieve download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp:///
AP#archieve download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://<10.0.0.5>/ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JA
you can skip the ip config part if ap getting ip from dhcp.
