You should be able to convert it. The difficulty will be in getting the autonomous code. I've taken a 1602 the opposite direction and only had to use the standard archive command just like what would be used on the average switch to convert from autonomous to capwap. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific instructions on going from capwap to autonomous for the 1600 series ap's.<br />

That may serve as a guide, but if the filename is vastly different, you will need to use wireshark to figure out what file is being requested or if your tftp server logs the request.

That was what I needed. Thanks!

Convert a Controller-based Access Point CAP-1602i to Autonomous

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
