Hi Majid,
The method is just hidden a little further down the doc that Scott linked (+5 points Scott :)
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
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 (such as 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 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 c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 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.

Convert a 2602i from lightweight to autonomous?

I have a CAP2602i that I would like to convert from lightweight to autonomous. Is this possible as with the older APs?
I'm following the instructions for the older models http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272 with the adjustment of renaming file ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar to ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default.

Thanks in advance! Any help would be apprectiated!

Hi Mantej,
It does not work with these new APs 1600/2600.
You need to perform these steps:
Restart the Access Point
While it loads the image in flash, press Escape, you’ll enter ROMMON mode:
The system boot has been aborted. The following
commands will finish loading the operating system
software:
ether_init
tftp_init
boot
Set the IP address for the gigabit 0 interface:
ap: set IP_ADDR 10.0.0.1
ap: set netmask 255.255.255.0
Initialize the tftp, ethernet and flash subsystems:
ap: tftp_init
tftp_init success: You can now use tftp file system!
ap: ether_init
Initializing ethernet port 0...
Ethernet speed is 100 Mb - FULL Duplex
ap: flash_init

...The flash is already initialized.
Load the image from TFTP and extract it to flash:
ap: tar -xtract tftp://10.0.0.100/ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar flash
After it’s done, set the correct bootimage:
ap: set BOOT flash://ap3g2-k9w7-mx.152-2.JB/ap3g2-k9w7-xx.152-2.JB
Boot the system:

Using WRT160N as a wireless access point from TP-WR941N

Hi,
I have a TP-WR941N router connected to the internet. I recently bought a WRT160n in the hope that I will be able to use it as an access point to extend the wireless range.
Essentially, I have the router and modem in one apartment, but need to be able to access the internet from another. The setup would look something like this:
|||===Apartment 2======================|||========= Apartment 1 ==================|||
||| [Computer] ))))) ((((( [TP-WR941N] ))))) ||| ((((( [WRT160n] ))))) ((((( [Computer] |||
||| [Modem]----------------------+ | ||| |||
||| [Computer]-----------------------+ ||| |||
|||==================================|||======================================|||
Is this possible? Do I need to use custom firmware or will the WRT160n work with the supplied firmware? What would I need to set up?

WRT160N router can not communicate with another router on a wireless connection.
You will need to run cable between both the routers.
I think you can try third party firmware.

DNG Converter no longer converts focusing points from Canon CR2 files

Hi all,
Up until some time between July 2010 and September 2010, the focusing points embedded in the original Canon CR2 files were also converted and containded in the DNG-file. Hence up until this point in time the focusing points were shown in Apple's Aperture. Since September 2010 this is no longer the case.
I had hoped for the DNG Converter 6.7 Beta to have corrected this truncation of the files.
I am using af Canon EOS 1D Mark III. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.3
1. Has anybody else experienced the same change in behavor of the DNG Converter?
2. Can anybody still see the focus points in Aperture or equal Imaging program?
3. Does anybody have an idea, how to contact Adobe for such a feature request?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Allan

Hi MadManChan2000,
Thank you for your answer. So what you are saying is that for some reason Apple's Aperture is no longer reading these MarkerNote metadata correctly?
Kind regards,
Allan

AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 access point

hi,
can any one help me to configure AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 as standalone acess point.
its a new one with default setting as per my knowledege its a controller based access point so pls help how to convert into standalone access point and which image is compatible with that.

Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Note In some LWAPP deployments, the LWAPP controller resides between the access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must cross over the controller before communication with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non-LWAPP IOS with an access point that is no longer using the LWAPP protocol, traffic does not cross over the controller to reach the TFTP server.
Note The lightweight 1300 series access points can only be converted back to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller.
Using a Wireless LAN Controller to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller:
Step 1 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated.
Step 2 Enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name

Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds.
Step 4 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; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
Step 5 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.

Hi Nassem,
It looks like you ended up with a Lightweight AP (LAP Part#) instead of an IOS AP. This can be fixed;

Cisco Aironet 1200 LAP Issues - LAP to Autonomous Mode

Greetings! After purchasing 4 of the Cisco Aironet 1200 G Series WAPs, I'm now running into a slight issue with them.
I received these last week with the understanding that if I didn't have the Cisco controller device, I could convert them from being the Lightweight Access Point, back to Autonomous mode with an IOS.
With this, I checked the documentation that came with the device and found the "Upgrading Autonomous Cisco Aironet Access Points to Lightweight Mode" or http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=Getting%20Started%20with%20Wireless&needs_authentication=yes&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Dadd_discussion%26mode%3Dshow%26needs_authentication%3Dyes%26location%3D.ee7c7c3.
From there, I followed the instructions listed under Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode. Before the rename of the file, I checked the device and found AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9 for the Model No.
One of the Cisco Certified admins here was able to obtain the latest build for the IOS for the device or c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEB1.tar. Per the instructions, I renamed the file to coincide with the model of the device.
I followed the instructions from there, and it looked as if everything was going well. However, after the upgrade, I'm running into an issue with the following:
File "flash:/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEB1/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEB1" uncompressed and installed, entry point: 0x3000
executing...
At this point, the device just locks up. All lights are lit green on the device. According do the documentation, it should reboot and from there, I should be able to access the web interface by IP.
I've tried to perform the upgrade again using the same IOS build, but the same thing happens with the lock up.
At this point, I'm assuming the issue is with the build of the IOS that I have and I may have to look at getting an older build. However, before doing so, I thought I would post something here to see if anyone had an idea.
I may have needed to refine my searching of the forums, but wasn't able to find anything in relation to my issue. If there is something out there, I do apologize for the post and will happily refer to any current information.
If you need any further information in relation to this, please let me know. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Cisco 1230 access point a radio lightweight mode

Will the cisco 1230 access point work in lighweight mode if it is using a radio?

The 1230 can be upgraded to LWAPP with the A Radio model listed below;
Solution Requirements
Migration from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode is possible on these Cisco Aironet access point platforms:
All 1130AG access points
All 1240 AG access points
For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and **1230 AP**) platforms, it depends on the radio:
if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported
if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported
The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.
All 1310 AG access points

Can a single Access Point support both bridge mode and Access Point mode at the same time

Hi Guys
Does anyone know which access point can work in both bridge mode and AP mode ?
Cheers

Well what are you trying to cover. If its really a large outdoor area, then look at the mesh AP. Those require a WLC. Autonomous or stand alone ap can perform bridging on one radio and client access on another. You can also look at AP that support indoor mesh that also controlled by a wlc. If your putting APs outdoors, then look at the outdoor mesh.

Need to admin disable 802.11a radio from a few light weight access points

Hi team,
I need help to admin disable the 802.11a radio interface from a few lightweight APs. The operational status of these radio interfaces is down, so I am getting the following error when I try to disable them from the wireless LAN controller.
(Cisco Controller) config>802.11a disable wds2.hyd.shaw.net
This slot is not operational because Regulatory Domain Check has failed! Unable to disable the Cisco AP.
Could you please let me know how I can administratively disable the 802.11a radios on these APs? Please let me know if you need more details here.
Regards,
Swati

The two previous posts are correct: the regulatory domain is probably not allowing radio a to be enabled.
To be sure about this you can go to GUI of the wireless LAN controller > Wireless > Country. Here your country (or region) should be selected. Then depending on the access points that you have they may or may not join or turn on the radio. Per example if you have an access point from Europe (like AIR-AP1131AG-E-K9) then you will have a conflict if only the “America” regulatory domain (-A) is selected.
Here is a link with a list of products and their regulatory domain that might help:

What you can do here is to simply allow the regulatory domain that the access point needs and you should not have any problems.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you change the regulatory domain and use an access point that transmit at certain channels and frequencies that are not allowed (illegal) in your country (region) you may have legal implications.
I hope this information helps you with your concern.

Hi Cyril,
The problem here is that the AP that you received is an LWAPP or Lightweight AP which will only work with the WLC/Unified solution. This is referenced in your first show-ver by these comments;
AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9
LWAPP Image Version 3.0.51.0
You will need to convert the AP back to Autonomous mode.This is most possible
Here is the related info :)
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
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 (such as 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 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 c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 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.
