1200 AP as Site Survey Tool (changes to repeater mode)

[bcarpenter]

I am trying to use a AIR-AP1220B-A-K9 for a site survey. There is no LAN access for the AP's yet, so the AP does not get a Link. Because of that, the AP tries to switch to repeater mode, and so I cannot associate to it.

I've looked all through the web interface and the CLI through the serial interface, and can't find a way to prevent repeater mode.

I'm sure there's a way, I just haven't found it yet.
