Ubiquiti UniFi in StandAlone mode (without an external controller)

Inspired by this topic , acquired UniFi AP. As it turned out later, for normal operation, the access point needed software that was installed on the PC. Using this software (controller), you can configure and manage UniFi points connected to the local network. If you turn off the computer on which the controller is installed, then after some time the devices stop working. In this case, I had one UniFi Ap and the meaning in this controller disappeared. Therefore, it was decided to install Ubiquiti AirOS on it to work in Stand Alone mode.

Firmware BZ.v5.3.7782.110301.2247.bin

Copy the file using WinSCP to the UniFi directory:
/tmp/fwupdate.bin

Go through SSH and start the firmware:
/sbin/ubntbox fwupdate.real -m /tmp/fwupdate.bin -d

We wait a couple of minutes and log in again through SSH:
cfgmtd -f /usr/etc/system.cfg -w && reboot

That's it, now you can configure the point through the web interface, at 192.168.1.20
