connection.

To connect the Cisco WAP131 to the wired network:

STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a switch, a router,

or a PC.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port of the Cisco WAP131.

STEP 3 If PoE is not provided, plug in the supplied power adapter to

provide power to the Cisco WAP131.

After installation, all lights should be active. Refer to Verifying the

Hardware Installation, page 5 for details about the different lights on the

Cisco WAP131.
