Try to see if it lets you log in with username admin, and password as the serial number of the AP. If so it booted up to instant mode. You can navigate to maintenance and convert it to a controller based AP and give it the IP of one of your controllers (Not the MM. APs can not terminate on an MM).
See if this helps.

I installed the ArubaInstant_Hercules_8.6.0.15_81969 image on the AP by using the setenv serverip command and mounted it to partition 0 with the setenv os_partition 0 command.
The VLAN does have option 43 and 60 set and the AP did show up on the MM dashboard. But, it shows it as down.
I also noticed while consoled into the AP I am at the User: prompt.

You should be able to install the AP software on the ASP portal. It will come up in IAP mode if it cant detect/discover a controller, but if it does it will download its image from the controller and upgrade.

I bought a couple of refurbished AP-325 access points and they are missing the OS image on both partitions.
apboot> osinfo
Partition 0 does not contain a valid OS image
Partition 1 does not contain a valid OS image
apboot>
I'm looking to connect them to a cluster of 7210 controllers that are running 8.6.0.15.
Is there a certain image (Non IAP) I need to download from ASP?
