Installation Guidelines
To install the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
Step 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port 1, 2, or 3 of your router.
Note Ethernet port 4 should not be used.
Step 3 Plug the power cord into the power connector.
Step 4 Plug the power cord into your power source.
Step 5 Press the power toggle switch to the on position.
Step 6 Use the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LED table below (Table 1) to better understand the Status
LED and the Ethernet LEDs located on the top panel of the access point.
Note The first time you connect the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point, the process may take anywhere
between 2 and 15 minutes due to an image download. If more than 10 access points are joining, the
process could take as long as 60 minutes. When associated, your access point Status LED on the top
panel displays a solid blue.
Note You do not need to configure any SSIDs for your 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point to connect to
your company’s network. The access point receives the company’s SSID when it connects to the
company network by way of the Internet. If you have any problems connecting to your company’s
network, contact your IT administrator.
You can configure your local SSID WLAN for other devices. See “Configuring a Personal SSID on a
Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point” for more information.
Caution Be careful when handling the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point. The bottom may be HOT.
Tip To manage the heat generated from the access point, maintain air flow between the metal plate of the
access point and the surface on which it is placed.
A laptop cooling pad (such as ones containing gel or cooling crystals) is a possible option for an access
point placed on a flat surface. Another option for managing the heat is to hang the access point on a wall.
