78-18997-01 1 About this Guide This Guide explains how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Autonomous Access Point. This guide also provides mounting instructions and limited troubleshooting procedures. 2 Safety Instructions Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in the translated safety warnings document that is shipped with your access point.
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 20A. Statement 1005 Warning Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.
3 Overview This section explains necessary tasks prior to installing the 1140 series access point. Verifying Shipped Components To unpack and verify the contents of the 1140 series access point and accessory kit, follow these steps: Step 1 Unpack and remove the access point and the accessory kit from the shipping box. Step 2 Return any packing material to the shipping container and save it for future use. Step 3 Verify that you have received the items shown in Figure 1.

Performing a Site Survey Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use a site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available: • Access point locations. • Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desktop.
– Provide your organization’s network administrator with your access point MAC address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address to identify the IP address. The MAC address is on a label attached to the bottom of the access point. – Use the CLI and serial port to identify the assigned IP address.
Command Purpose Step 2 interface bvi1 Enters interface configuration mode for the BVI. Step 3 ip address ip_address net_mask Assigns an IP address and subnet mask address to the BVI. Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI Follow these steps to access the CLI using a Telnet session. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions. Step 1 Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet.
5 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Aironet 3500, 1260, 1140, 1130, and 1040 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an elecrtical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

Step 4 10 If required, configure the power settings as described in the previous section. Otherwise, Click Express Setup. The Express Setup page appears.
Step 5 Configure the settings using the following sections as a guide. • Host Name—The host name (or system name) is a name for the access point that identifies it on your network. The system name appears in the titles of the management system pages. • Configuration Server Protocol—This setting specifies how the access point obtains an IP address. – DHCP—IP address is automatically assigned by the network DHCP server.
• Default Gateway—The default gateway identifies the address the access point uses to access another network. This gateway is provided by your network administrator. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank. • Web Server—This setting specifies the type of HTTP used to access the access point using a web browser. – Standard (HTTP)—Standard protocol used to transfer HTML using unencrypted traffic between web browsers.
– Throughput—Maximizes data volume handled by the access point but might reduce its range. – Range—Maximizes the access point range but might reduce throughput. – Default—The access point uses its default data rate settings for the radio selected. – Custom—The access point uses settings that you enter on the radio settings page. Clicking Custom takes you to the radio settings page. • Aironet Extensions—By default, the access point uses Cisco Aironet 802.
Note You can restore the access point to its factory defaults by unplugging the power jack and plugging it back in while holding the Mode button down until the Ethernet LED turns amber (approximately 2 to 3 seconds). Enabling the Radio Interfaces The access point radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radios before the access point allows wireless associations from other devices.
Configuring Basic Security Settings You can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. This illustration shows the Express Security page. Understanding Express Security Settings When the access point configuration is set to factory defaults, the first SSID that you create by using the Express Security page overwrites the default SSID, which has no security settings. The SSIDs that you create appear in the SSID table at the bottom of the page.
you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID conflicts with another SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the conflict. If any VLANs are defined on the access point, the trunk port on the switch must be limited to allow only the VLANs defined on the access point. Express Security Types There are four security types you can assign to an SSID: • No security—The least secure option.
• You cannot configure multiple WEP keys. To configure multiple WEP keys, click Security > Encryption Manager. • You cannot assign an SSID to a VLAN that is already configured on the access point. To assign an SSID to an existing VLAN, choose Security > SSID Manager. • You cannot configure combinations of authentication types on the same SSID (such as MAC address authentication and EAP authentication). To configure combinations of authentication types, choose Security > SSID Manager.
If you do not use VLANS on your wireless LAN, the security options that you can assign to multiple SSIDs are limited. Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for VLAN details. Note 1. Click Apply. The SSID appears in the SSID table at the bottom of the page. 7 Troubleshooting This section offers some diagnostic and configuration suggestions for troubleshooting your access point.
Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a defect. Table 2 shows the access point LED diagnostics for various conditions.
