2Connect and Power Up the Access Point

340 Series Access Points

Step 1 Adjust the access point antennas.

Note Antenna configurations vary depending upon the access point model.

For maximum range, make sure the access point antennas are perpendicular to the ground, no

matter where the access point will be mounted.

If on a table or desk, point the antennas straight up.

If mounted on a wall, point the antennas straight up, even though if the access point is on its

side.

If mounted on the ceiling, point the antennas straight down.

Step 2 Connect the Ethernet cable from the wired 10/100 Ethernet LAN to the Ethernet connector

on the back of the access point.

Step 3 Plug the power pack connector into the power receptacle on the back of the access point.

Step 4 Plug the power pack into a wall outlet or power strip.

Note At start-up, all three LEDs on the top of the access point slowly blink amber,

red, and green in sequence; the sequence takes a couple of minutes to complete.

Refer to the software configuration guide on the CD for LED descriptions.

3Associate an IP Address with the Access Point

To open the access point management pages, you need the access point’s IP address, which can be

obtained in one of two ways:

•If your network uses a DHCP server, the server automatically assigns an IP address to the access

point. Use the IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address.

•If you are not connected to a DHCP server and the access point is on the same subnet as your PC,

use IPSU to assign an IP address to the access point.

Note You can also identify or set the access point’s IP address by using the straight-through

9-pin serial extension cable in your access point package to connect the COM1 or COM2

port onyour computer to the RS-232 serial port onthe access point.Use a terminal emulator

to view the access point’sexpress setup screenand write down the IP address.Use these port

settings for the terminal emulator session: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and

Xon/Xoff flow control.

Using a DHCP Server

When you connect the access point to your network, it receives an IP address from the DHCP server.

If you have access to the DHCP server, you can use the management console to identify the IP address

for the access point. If not, you need to identify the assigned IP address using IPSU. Follow the

instructions in the “Finding the DHCP-Assigned IP Address” section on page 7 to determine the IP

address.

Using the IP Setup Utility

Note You must run IPSU from a computer on the same subnet as the access point.

Installing IPSU

Step 1 Put the Cisco Aironet Access Point CD in the CD-ROM drive of the computer you are using

to configure the access point.

Step 2 Use Windows Explorer to view the contents of the CD. Double-click on the IPSU folder;

double-click the setup.exe file.

Step 3 Follow the steps provided by the installation wizard.

3 Associate an IP Address with the Access Point (continued)

Setting the Access Point’s IP Address and SSID

If your access point does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, use IPSU to assign an IP

address. You can set the access point’s SSID at the same time.

Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the access point must have an IP

address of its own.

Note IPSU can only change the IP address and SSID from their default settings. After these

values have been changed, the utility cannot change them again unless you reset the

configuration to factory defaults. To do so, click Reset All System Factory Defaults on the

System Configuration Setup page in the access point management system.

Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start IPSU. The following screen

appears:

Step 2 Make sure Set Parameters is selected in the Function box.

Step 3 In the Device MAC ID field, enter the MAC address as it appears on the label on the bottom

of the access point. It should containsix pairs of hexadecimal digits. For example, your access

point’s MAC address might look like this: 00409625854c.

3 Associate an IP Address with the Access Point (continued)

Step 4 In the IP address field, enter the IP address you want to assign to the access point. The IP

address should be on the same subnet as the device to which you connect the access point.

Step 5 In the SSID field, enter the SSID you want to assign to the access point.

Note You cannotset the SSID without also setting the IP address. However, youcan

set the IP address without setting the SSID.

Step 6 Click Set Parameters.

Finding the DHCP-Assigned IP Address

If your access point receives an IP address from a DHCP server, use IPSU to determine the IP address.

Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start IPSU. The following screen

appears:

Step 2 In the Device MAC ID field, enter the MAC address as it appears on the label on the bottom

of the access point. It should containsix pairs of hexadecimal digits. For example, your access

point’s MAC address might look like this: 00409625854c.

Step 3 Make sure the Get IP addr is selected in the Function box; click Get IP Address.

Step 4 Write down the number that is displayed in the IP Address field.

Note If IPSU reports that the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default IP address, the

access point did not receive a DHCP-assigned IP address. Follow the instructions in

the “Setting the Access Point’s IP Address and SSID”section on page 6 to set the IP

address.

4Open the Access Point Management Pages

After you have determined or assigned the access point’s IP address, you can open the Access Point

Management Pages.

Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape

Navigator/Communicator, versions 4.0 or later.

Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. Depending on

the method used to assign the IP address, either the Summary Status screen or the Express

Setup screen opens. From the Summary Status (Home) screen, click Setup and Express Setup

to open the Express Setup screen shown below:

Step 3 Enter the case-sensitive SSID provided by your system administrator. Click Apply.

Your access point is now up and running. Consult the software configuration guide on the CD for a

description of the access point system management functions and instructions for accessing the Help

files.

Safety Information for the Cisco Aironet Access Point
