Setting up an IAP
This chapter describes the following procedures:
l Setting up Instant Network on page 35
l Logging in to the Instant UI on page 37
l Accessing the Instant CLI on page 41
Setting up Instant Network
Before installing an IAP:
l Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable of the required length to connect an IAP to the home router.
l Ensurethat you have one of the following power sources:
n IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The PoE source can be any power source
equipment (PSE) switch or a midspan PSE device.
n IAP power adapter kit.
Perform the following procedures to set up the Instant network:
1. Connecting an IAP on page 35
2. Assigning an IP address to the IAP on page 35
3. Connecting to a Provisioning Wi-Fi Network on page 36
Connecting an IAP
Based on the type of the power source used, perform one of the following steps to connect an IAP to the power
source:
l PoE switch— Connect the ENET 0 port of the IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch.
l PoE midspan— Connect the ENET 0 port of the IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE midspan.
l AC to DC power adapter— Connect the 12V DC power jack socket to the AC to DC power adapter.
RAP-155P supports PSE for 802.3at powered device (class 0-4) on one port (E1 or E2), or 802.3af powered DC IN
(Power Socket) on two ports (E1 and E2).
Assigning an IP address to the IAP
The IAP needs an IP address for network connectivity. When you connect an IAP to a network, it receives an IP
address from a DHCP server.
To obtain an IP address for an IAP:
1. Ensure that the DHCP service is enabled on the network.
2. Connect the ENET 0 port of IAP to a switch or router using an Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the IAP to a power source. The IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or router.
If there is no DHCP service on the network, the IAP can be assigned a static IP address. If a static IP is not
assigned, the IAP obtains an IPautomatically within the 169.254 subnet.
