Important Notes
Cisco Lightweight Access Points Fail to Join Cisco Controllers
When a Cisco lightweight access point is connected to a terminal server port and reboots because of a
join failure or timeout, this sequence repeats until the access point returns to the boot prompt and remains
there. This condition occurs when there is no telnet session to the access point’s console port and when
the controller is not responding to the access point’s join response.

there. This condition occurs when there is no telnet session to the access point’s console port and when
the controller is not responding to the access point’s join response.
Workaround: Disconnect the access point’s console port from the terminal server. Reprogram the
controller to have it respond to the access point’s join request. Power cycle the access point to force a
restart.
