Enabling the Radio Interfaces
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later, 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 will allow wireless
associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of
newly installed access points. Refer to the “Configuring Basic Security Settings” section on page 3-9 for
instructions on configuring the SSID.
To enable the radio interfaces, follow these instructions:
Step 1 Use your web-browser to access your access point.
Step 2 When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11b or Network
Interfaces > Radio0-802.11g and the radio status page displays.
Step 3 Click Settings and the radio settings page displays.
Step 4 Click Enable in the Enable Radio field.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 Click Radio1-802.11A and the radio status page displays.
Step 7 Repeat Steps 3 to 5.
Step 8 Close your web-browser.
