Solved: AP 1220-B-A Thick to Thin conversion

jimcalano · ‎10-09-2008

I am trying to convert Airnet 1220 AP's from thick to thin so I can use a 4400 WLAN controller. I've upgraded the AP's to the latest firmware release. When I use the upgrade tool I receive the following error in the error log.

2008/10/08 21:27:40 INFO 192.168.15.215 User has Full privilege

2008/10/08 21:27:41 ERROR 192.168.15.215 AP does not have Supported Radio

The upgrade fails at this point. Is there anyway around this?

Unfortunately, upgrading to LWAPP requires an 802.11g radio. You'll need to physically replace the 802.11b radio with a g-radio module.

*sigh* I was afraid of that. Thank you.

Yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news :/ I should also point out that you can install an a-radio and it will also allow you to upgrade it, but either way you'll need to purchase and install a new radio.
