Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 521 Access Points

You must know your access point’s IP address before you can use the

web-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address

from your network’s DHCP server, you or your network administrator can

find it by querying the DHCP server using the access point’s MAC address.

You can also find the access point’s IP address using Cisco’s IP Setup Utility

You can download IPSU from Cisco.com.

Configuring Power

After connecting the access point to a power source, its status LED might be

amber, which can indicate that the access point is unable to verify that the

PSE is supplying sufficient power. In such cases, you will need to configure

settings on the access point or the switch to identify your power source.

Configuring Basic Settings

Follow these steps to configure basic settings for the access point using the

GUI Express Setup page.
