If you cannot display the configuration utility, you can test the ability of the
computer to communicate with the device by using ping. To use ping on a
computer running Windows:
STEP 1 Verify that the Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 is powered on and the
lights indicate the appropriate links.
STEP 2 Locate the device’s IP address. While there are different ways to
locate your device’s IP address, this procedure uses Cisco FindIT.
d. If you have previously downloaded Cisco FindIT, open Mozilla
Firefox and launch Cisco FindIT. For more information on
downloading Cisco FindIT, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.
e. In the Cisco FindIT display, place your mouse over the device’s
name. The device IP address is displayed along with other
device information.
STEP 3 Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.
STEP 4 At the Command window prompt enter ping and the device IP
address. In this example, we pinged 192.0.2.10.
If successful, you should get a reply similar to the following:
Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.0.2.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
If it fails, you should get a reply similar to the following:
