Wireless Access

Hi everyone,

I have an 228 AP is provisioned with 7210 Controller running 6.5.1.4 OS.

My Ap only working as Air Monitors mode and i I couldn't find the way to change it from Air Monitor mode to AP mode.

Any one can show me step by step to fix this issue ?

 

 

Thanks for help.

 

 

Is AP license install?

The AP appears to have been provisioned in the "default" ap-group, which I suspect is using AM-Mode in the Radio profiles. You will need to either change the AP mode within Radio Profiles or re-provision the AP to a different ap-group where the AP's are configured to use AP mode.

Hi zalion,

You're right. My 228 AP have been provisioned in the "default" ap-group, but i have a  question that why after provision, only 228 model have been changed to Air Monitor while 325 model still is AP mode

 

Thanks for help.

Are they both in the default ap-group? What is the regulatory domain of of the AP228 set on the default group? Are you able to provide the output of the below?

Hi Zalion,

Sorry for lately reply,

They both in the default group. I  don't clear about "regulatory domain" but hence is output:

Thanks for help 

Thanks, if you don’t know the regulatory domain of the AP (you’ll be able to find this under the sap-group) could you let us know the country where the AP is installed?

Please also run the following command

show ap allowed-channels country-code ap-type 325

==> Refer the output, Does my 228 ap not allowed with any channel and can't use ?

Many thanks

Can you confirm which DRT you are running? It seems that the 228 in Vietnam is supported from DRT 1.0_61955 onwards.

Hi Zalion,

Hey, take a look at the below. This should help

Thanks Zalion,

My DRT version is 1.0_58653, it lower than 1.0_61955. It may be one of the reasons that my ap is moved to AM mode. 

I will upgrate it with new DRT version and hope it work.

 

Many Thanks

 

 

Hi,

 

From the output of 228 is not support this.

Please try to change regulatory domain profile to another country.

Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration > AP Group > AP  > Regulatory Domain then you will see Country Code.

I recommend you to create new AP group and move one of 228 to here then following above.

Cheer up!!!

Thanks all,

I'm very appreciate your support. I resolved my issue :D

Use this command for check compatible of AP model "show ap allowed-channels country-code <country-code> ap-type 228"
