Conversion Setting Information Incorporated
Do not remove power or the Ethernet cable from the access point during the conversion process
or the conversion process will be aborted. You can check the conversion status by clicking
Status.
The converted access point icon disappears from the topology view until the new software image
is loaded from the controller and the LAP521 access point gets an IP address. The process might
take a minute or more before the access point appears in the topology as an LAP521 access point.
When an autonomous AP521 access point is converted to controller-based operation using the
CCA, the access point properties screen continues to indicate that the access point is an
AIR-AP521G-A-K9 after the conversion. This is in agreement with the product label on the
access point. However, the CCA displays a small triangle icon next to the converted access point
to indicate that the access point is now operating as a controller-based LAP521 access point.
