AP 1242-AG

[Mohammed Yusuf]

By mistake I deleted boot file and now access point only boots up in ap mode.
When I run Dir I get nothing.
How can I restore the image back?
I have tried Hyper terminal xmodem but it failed.
I tried to assign IP address but it does not recognise the command but dir.

I need help and my access point.

HI Mohammed,

You need to connect with Ethernet cable.

AP to PC

Thanks all I got the file back and how would I link this one up with other access controllers?

Ok, now your AP is running on autonomous IOS.  You now need to load the controller-based "RCV" IOS into the AP and boot this IOS. 

Once the switch boots into the RCV IOS, please post the following output:

1.  WLC:  sh sysinfo;

2.  WLC:  sh time;

3.  AP:  sh version;

4.  AP:  sh ip interface brief; and

5.  AP:  sh inventory

How would I do that Leo? how to load the controller-based "RCV" IOS into the AP and boot this IOS.

Thanks

how to load the controller-based "RCV" IOS into the AP and boot this IOS

1.  Download the RCV IOS from the Cisco website.  Make sure the IOS has a file extension of TAR.

2.  Copy the RCV IOS into the AP using the command "archive download-sw tftp:///IOS.tar".

3.  When the process finishes, reload the AP.

[Mohammed Yusuf]

I have managerd to transfer tar file as you suggested and reloaded the AP.

Is it automatic supposed to connect with other AP ?

Is it automatic supposed to connect with other AP ?

What other AP???? 

I thought you wanted the AP to connect to the WLC?

[Mohammed Yusuf]

Yeah how would it connect with WLC?

Have you restored the image?  If you haven't, then your AP is not going to work.  Have you looked at the deployment guides... there are many out there and depending if your AP is autonomous or if you have a WLC, you can find that info.

Thanks,

Scott
