Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point
When you connect the access point to the PoE switch for the first time, it
queries the subnet on the LAN port for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server
responds to its query, the access point uses the IP address the server
assigns to it. If there is no DHCP server, it uses the default IP address
192.168.1.230.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must change the IP
address of your management PC to match the subnet of the default
address of the access point. If your network is divided into virtual LANs
(VLANs), be sure to connect the access point and your management PC
to ports on a PoE switch that are members of the same VLAN.
If your network has a DHCP server, use the IP address the server assigns
it to start the management session.
To start the initial management session, perform one of the following:
“Starting the Initial Management Session without a DHCP Server” on
page 49
“Starting the Initial Management Session with a DHCP Server” on
page 50
Note
The initial management session of the access point has to be
conducted through the LAN port because the default setting for the
radios is off.
Starting the
Initial
Management
Session without a
DHCP Server
This procedure explains how to start the initial management session on
the access point when the LAN port is connected to a PoE switch on a
network that does not have a DHCP server.
To start the management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the access point to a PoE switch.
If your network has VLANs, the access point must be connected to a
port on the PoE switch that belongs to the same VLAN as the port
where your management PC is connected.
You may need to access the management software on the PoE switch
to list the VLANs and their port assignments. For example, if the
access point is connected to a port that is a member of the Sales
VLAN, your management PC must be connected to a port that is also a
member of that VLAN. If your network is small and does not have
VLANs or routers, you may connect your management PC to any port
on the PoE switch.
