Configuring System Power Settings
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 power source equipment (PSE) is supplying sufficient
power. In such cases, you need to configure settings on the access point or the switch to identify your
power source.
Identify your power source and switch condition, and then make sure that your devices are configured
with an IP address.
Follow these steps to configure the system power settings using the GUI:
Step 1 Open your browser and enter the access point IP address in the address field. A login and
password screen appears.
Step 2 Enter the username Cisco and password Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive.
Step 3 When the access point does not receive enough power for full operations, it is in low power
mode. If your access point is in low power mode, a warning message appears indicating that
all radios are disabled due to insufficient power. Click OK to continue. The System
Configuration page appears.
Step 4 Scroll down to the System Power Settings section as shown in Figure 4.
