Cisco 2100 WLC / Cisco Aironet 1200 configuration help

Hello,
On the CCNA Wireless track here. I kept my CCNA Lab, so I have 2600 Routers and 2950 catalysts.
I just got my Cisco Aironet 1200 and Cisco 2100 Wireless LAN controller in the mail.
The AP and Controller and connected to the 2950, and the 2950 to my Router.
Router is running DHCP server for 192.168.2.0 /24, I've excluded the first 10 addresses just in case I need them for static purposes.
Default-Gateway is set to 192.168.2.1
Vlan1 Interface on the switch is set to 192.168.2.2, for telnet purposes.
I connected to the WLC and trying to go over the auto-config located at:
Quick Start Guide: Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN Controller* [Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers] - Cisco Systems
question # 1: Why is it asking for a management interface IP address, and should I give it one of the static addresses?
question # 2: what do I choose for management interface port? they said to choose '1', does it matter?
Any other pointers? I know I am not as far in Todd's book as of yet (chapter 3), but decided to play with the new toys anyways.
I hope I can at least see the SSID via my inSSIDer.........
Any other tips welcomed.
Cheers.

I disconnected the 5GHz antennas and connected the 2.4GHz, I will try to run 802.11g.
* My iPhones did not seem to pickup the 802.11a network that I ran yesterday.

I want to run 802.11g.
I disconnected the 5GHz antennas and connected the other 2 antennas I received.
I programmed the profile for 802.11b/g, but now the operational mode is DOWN.....any ideas?

And iPhones are 2.4 or Dual Band depending on what model you have. Only iPhone 5 is 5 GHz so it can also connect to your 802.11a and 802.11n 5 GHz networks.
I'll post the logs, maybe I missed something.

The controller is giving out a "WIPS Alert: Reason "NoProfile" detected on AP MAC..."
My search so far shows that if you're running a power injector with the AP, you have to turn it ON by going to Wireless --> clicking the AP name --> Advanced tab.....Power over Ethernet.....
Still not working though.............

What do you mean by that?
Waiting on my 48VDC power adapter for the controller. (eBay rocks)

Oh haha, cool, I will take that as a compliment.
Still waiting on Mr. FedEx man to drop off the the power adapter and I'm back in action.
