Cisco WAP571 User Manual

7 Cisco WAP571 Wireless Access Point
Getting Started with the Configuration
To configure the wireless access points, you can either use Ethernet or
wireless. Please follow these steps to access the Wizard and then the
web-based configuration utility from your computer by Ethernet:
STEP 1 Ethernet: Connect the wireless access point to the same network
(IP subnet) as your computer. The factory default IP address
configuration of the access points is DHCP. Make sure your DHCP
server is running and can be reached.
See Incorrect IP Address, page 10 for troubleshooting
information, or if you do not have a DHCP server.
Wireless: Search the wireless SSID "CiscoSB-Setup", and connect
to this SSID with the passphrase "cisco123".
STEP 2 Locate the IP address of the wireless access point.
a. The wireless access points 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 wireless access points are Bonjour-enabled and
automatically broadcast their services and listen 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 wireless access point 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 or
Mozilla Firefox.
STEP 4 In the Address field, enter the default DHCP address and press the
Enter key.
