Chapter 2 Configuring the WMIC for the First Time
Before You Start
Before You Start
Before you install the WMIC, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the
WMIC, and obtain the following information from your network administrator:
A system name for the WMIC
The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) that your WMICs use
If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for your WMIC (such as 172.17.255.115)
If the WMIC 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)
Connecting to the WMIC
To configure the WMIC locally (without connecting the WMIC to a wired LAN), connect a PC to the
console port. If the WMIC has an IP address and Telnet is allowed on the device, connect to a Fast
Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Card (FESMIC) Ethernet port by using an Ethernet cable, and use
Telnet to establish the connection. Or you can Telnet into the WMIC from a node on the LAN.
Note When you connect your PC to the WMIC or reconnect your PC to the LAN, it might be necessary to
release and renew the IP address on the PC. On most PCs, release and renew the IP address by rebooting
the PC or by entering the ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew commands in a command window.
Consult your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions.
Using the Console Port to Access the Exec
Connect a PC to the WMIC console port by using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Note that there might be
several console ports on a Cisco 3200 Series router.
Follow these steps to access the CLI by connecting to the WMIC console port:
Step 1 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the WMIC RJ-45 serial port on the router and
to the COM port on your PC.
Step 2 Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the WMIC. Use the following settings for the terminal
emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Step 3 When the terminal emulator is activated, press Enter. An Enter Network Password window appears.
Step 4 Enter your username in the User Name field. The default username is Cisco.
Step 5 Enter the WMIC password in the Password field and press Enter. The default password is Cisco.
When the CLI activates, you can enter CLI commands to configure the WMIC.
