WLC 4402 + LAP-1242AG + No DHCP

Question

Greetings to all,
I am trying to get some LAP-1242 to join a 4402 controller without using any DHCP server. Is that possible?
Thank you in advance

Hi Stelios,
Just thought I might add a note to the good info from Scott and Richard (5 points to both of you for this helpful info!)
There is no danger of this AP reverting to Autonomous without a concerted effort on your part to reload an IOS :)
Here is a summary;
To clear or remove the manually entered controller information, you can use these EXEC mode CLI commands:
clear lwapp ap ip address
clear lwapp ip default-gateway
clear lwapp controller ip address
clear lwapp ap hostname
Manually Resetting the Access Point to Defaults
You can manually reset your access point to default settings using this EXEC mode CLI command:
Note This command requires the controller configured Enable password to enter the CLI EXEC mode.
clear lwapp private-config
From this Troubleshooting doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1130/installation/guide/113h_c4.html#wp1091061
If you enter the clear lwapp private-config command, you might see this error message:
AP0017.5922.f384#clear lwapp private-config
ERROR!!! Command is disabled.
This error message indicates that the static configuration commands are locked out because either:
This command was entered while the LAP is registered to a controller.
***The LAP was previously registered to a WLC, but the username/password was not changed from the default
So try this;
Once your LAP successfully registers with the WLC, the static LWAPP configuration commands (discussed in the previous section) are locked out and are no longer accessible. In order to re-enable the commands, you must have set the username and password while the LAP was joined to the previous controller.
When the LAP is registered to a controller, use this controller CLI command to set the AP's username and password:
config ap username password
