Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Before You Start
Before You Start
Before you install the access point, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network
as the access point, and obtain the following information from your network administrator:
• A system name for the access point
• The case-sensitive wireless service set identifiers (SSIDs) for your 802.11g and 02.11a radio
networks
• If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for your access point (such as
172.17.255.115)
• If the access point is not on the same subnet as your PC, a default gateway address and subnet mask
• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and the SNMP file attribute (if
SNMP is in use)
• If you use IPSU to find or assign the access point IP address, the MAC address from the label on the
bottom of the access point (such as 00164625854c)
Resetting the Access Point to Default Settings
Using the Mode Button
If you need to start over during the initial setup process, follow these steps to reset the access point to
factory default settings using the access point MODE button:
Step 1 Open the access point cover (refer to the “Opening the Access Point Cover” section on page 2-8).
Step 2 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the
access point.
Step 3 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point, approximately 2 to 3
seconds, and release the button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.
Using the Web-Browser Interface
Prior to using the web-browser interface, you must have the access point IP address (see the “Obtaining
and Assigning an IP Address” section on page 3-3).
Follow these steps to return to default settings using the web-browser interface:
Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape
Navigator (version 4.x).
Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network
Password window appears.
Step 3 Enter your username in the User Name field. The default username is Cisco.
Step 4 Enter the access point password in the Password field and press Enter. The default password is Cisco.
The Summary Status page appears.
Step 5 Click System Software and the System Software screen appears.
