Ah, thanks! Didn't find the image names for the 1700/700 series APs 
anywhere, so I assumed they too weren't supported anymore.

Yes, also the customer's WLC isn't very new, so replacing it with a 
complete ME-setup might be advisable. The requirements for the setup are 
rather low, so this solution would be well sufficient. Only having to 
replace the 1600 APs would make the choice easier of course ...

Thanks for the info ...
