5. Cisco Wireless Access Point Support
5.1 Cisco Initial Setup
5.1.1 Site First Steps
To configure the Cisco Aironet 350 Access Point to work at a customer site, you need to do the
following:
1. Configure Ethernet Connected devices as Root Bridges
2. Configure static IP addresses.
3. Configure device names (mpr11, etc).
4. Configure customer specific WEP keys.
You can do all of these things by either connecting with each device via the serial port (see Appendix A —
302395 Connection Diagram), or by connecting them all to a network that has a DHCP server and using
the Web browser based interface.
To use the DHCP/Web interface, connect all devices to the network and power them on. After they have
been powered on for several minutes, you can use the command line query tool (FindWAPM) to report
the IP addresses of all the Access Point parents on the network. The FindWAPM tool queries the network
for the Wireless Access Point Monitors that are built into the repeater box, and reports back what devices
it finds. Once you connect a device, you can use the steps in Appendix B to configure each one.
5.1.2 WAP Monitor
The WAP Monitor is a small computer attached to the Cisco via Ethernet. It has a SK2 GPS receiver as
well as circuitry to monitor temperature and battery voltage. This device has its own MAC and IP
addresses. The FindWAPM utility will find all of these devices and report back their information.
