Mounting the Cisco WAP571 Wireless-AC/

N Premium Dual Radio Access Point with

PoE Setup

You can place your access point on a desktop, or mount it on a wall or

ceiling.

Placement Tips

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the access point from overheating,

do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of

104°F (40°C).

•AirFlow—Both side panels have vents that must be unobstructed to

prevent overheating.

• Mechanical Loading—The device should be level, stable, and secure

to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position.

Wall and Ceiling Mounting

The Cisco WAP571 device can be wall or ceiling-mounted. A mounting kit

is packaged with your device. The kit is designed to install your device to

the wall or the ceiling.

The mounting bracket has some flexibility so that you can reuse existing

holes drilled for a Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 device. The installer can

remove the Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 and mount the Cisco WAP571.

The dimensions for the mount kit screws are as follows:

1.31 to .33 in

(7.8 to 8.3 mm)

2.86 to .88 in (21.8

to 22.3 mm)

3.22 to .24 in

(5.5 to 6.0 mm)

4.69 to .72 in

(17.5 to 18.2

The WiFi default SSID is “Cisco SB-Setup” with the passphrase “cisco123”

in WPA2-PSK AES. This wireless default configuration will not allow traffic

between WiFi and Ethernet; users will need to go through the setup wizard

to resume the traffic between WiFi and Ethernet.

The user can also perform the initial configuration using a wired Ethernet

connection.

To connect the device to the wired network:

STEP 1Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a PoE switch.

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

Ethernet port (PoE) of the wireless access point.

NOTE WAP571 bundles the two Ethernet ports to be link

aggregation mode. If the two Ethernet ports have been connected

at the same time, the link partner must also support link

aggregation.

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

Hardware Installation, page 6 for details about the different lights on each

switch.

Getting Started with the Configuration

To configure the wireless access points, you can either use Ethernet or

wireless. Please follow these steps to access the Wizard and then the

web-based configuration utility from your computer by Ethernet:

STEP 1Ethernet: Connect the wireless access point to the same network

(IP subnet) as your computer. The factory default IP address

configuration of the access points is DHCP. Make sure your DHCP

server is running and can be reached.

See Incorrect IP Address, page 10 for troubleshooting

information, or if you do not have a DHCP server.

Wireless: Search the wireless SSID "CiscoSB-Setup", and connect

to this SSID with the passphrase "cisco123".

STEP 2Locate the IP address of the wireless access point.

a. The wireless access points can be accessed and managed by

Cisco network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT

Network Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically

discover all supported Cisco devices in the same local

network segment as your computer. You can get a snapshot

view of each device or launch the product configuration utility

to view and configure the settings. For more information, see

www.cisco.com/go/findit.

b. The wireless access points are Bonjour-enabled and

automatically broadcast their services and listen for services

being advertised by other Bonjour-enabled devices. If you

have a Bonjour-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet

Explorer with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari

browser, you can find the wireless access point on your local

network without knowing its IP address.

You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet

Explorer browser from Apple’s website by visiting:

http://www.apple.com/bonjour/

c. Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by

accessing your router or DHCP server. See your DHCP server

instructions for more information.

STEP 3Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or

Mozilla Firefox.

STEP 4In the Address field, enter the default DHCP address and press the

Enter key.

STEP 5Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the

User Name and Password fields.

STEP 6Click Login. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears.

STEP 7Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the WAP device

installation. We strongly recommend that you use the Setup

Wizard for the first installation.The Setup Wizard turns on the Wi-Fi

radio, which allows you to connect wirelessly. For more advanced

configurations, see the Administration Guide. A link to the

Administration Guide is found in Release the Reset button when

the system light turns on., page 11.

Congratulations, you can now start using your wireless access point.

Suggested Next Steps

Smart PoE

Smart PoE is designed for detecting the power level from the PSE (Power

Sourcing Equipment) side; it does not matter whether 802.3at or 802.3af

mode, the WAP571 will operate at the appropriate mode automatically.

Smart PoE ensures that the WAP571 remains functional once powered by

802.3af PSE, and intelligently to adjust operations below:

•Second Ethernet port disabled

•2.4-GHz 802.11n radio in 2x2:2 spatial-stream mode

•5-GHz 802.11ac radio operates without restrictions

In case of an error while installing, try the following troubleshooting

procedures described in this section:

STEP 1Verify that the Cisco WAP571 is powered on and the lights indicate

the appropriate links.

STEP 2Locate the device’s IP address. While there are different ways to

locate your device’s IP address, this procedure uses Cisco FindIT.

a. If you have previously downloaded Cisco FindIT, open Internet

Explorer and launch Cisco FindIT. For more information on

downloading Cisco FindIT, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.

b. 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 3Open a command window by choosing Start > Run and enter

cmd.

STEP 4At 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:

Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Possible Cause of Installation Failure

No Power

•Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.

•Make sure your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that

you have a link. See Verifying the Hardware Installation, page 6.

•Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a

switchable outlet.

Bad Ethernet Connection

•Check the state of the indicator lights. See Verifying the Hardware

Installation, page 6.

•Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your

devices. Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP

device, and routers, any switches, and your computer.

•Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The access

point and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.
