Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
Step 5 Click System Software and the System Software screen appears.
Step 6 Click System Configuration and the System Configuration screen appears.
Step 7 Click the Reset to Defaults button.
Note If the access point is configured with a static IP address, the IP address does not change.
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
To browse to the access point’s Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the access point’s
IP address using one of the following methods:
Note The access point does not have a default IP address.
• To assign a static IP address to the access point, connect to the access point console port (see the
“Connecting to the Access Point Locally” section on page 3-3) and follow the steps in the
“Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI” section on page 3-11.
• Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find out the
DHCP-assigned IP address using one of the following methods:
–
Connect to the access point console port and use a Cisco IOS CLI command to display the IP
address, such as show interface bvi1. Follow the steps in the “Connecting to the Access Point
Locally” section on page 3-3 to connect to the console port.
–
Provide your organization’s network administrator with your access point’s Media Access
Control (MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the
MAC address to identify the IP address. The access point’s MAC address is on label attached to
the bottom of the access point.
–
Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. IPSU runs on most
Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XP.
For information on IPSU, refer to “Using the IP Setup Utility” section on page 3-9.
Connecting to the Access Point Locally
If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN),
you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Follow these steps to open
the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
Step 1 Open the access point cover (refer to “Opening the Access Point Cover” section on page 2-8).
Step 2 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 console port on the access point and
to the COM port on a computer.
