6 Cisco WAP131 Quick Start Guide
Getting Started with the Configuration
To configure the Cisco WAP131, follow these steps to access the
web-based Configuration Utility and then the Setup Wizard from your
computer:
STEP 1 Connect the Cisco WAP131 to the same network (IP subnet) as your
computer. The factory default IP address configuration of the Cisco
WAP131 is DHCP. Make sure that your DHCP server is running and
can be reached.
See “Incorrect IP Address” for troubleshooting information, or if
you do not have a DHCP server.
STEP 2 Locate the IP address of the Cisco WAP131.
a. The Cisco WAP131 can be accessed and managed by Cisco
network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT Network
Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover all
supported Cisco devices in the same local network segment
as your computer. You can get a snapshot view of each device
or launch the product configuration utility to view and configure
the settings. For more information, see www.cisco.com/go/
findit.
b. The Cisco WAP131 is Bonjour-enabled and automatically
broadcasts its services and listens for services being
advertised by other Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a
Bonjour-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari browser, you
can find the Cisco WAP131 on your local network without
knowing its IP address.
You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser from Apple’s website by visiting:
http://www.apple.com/bonjour/
c. Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by
accessing your router or DHCP server. See your DHCP server
instructions for more information.
STEP 3 Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
STEP 4 In the address bar, enter the default DHCP address and press the
Enter key.
STEP 5 Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the
Username and Password fields.
STEP 6 Click Log In. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears.
