If the access point does not have a console port, use either the GUI or the Telnet for access. For information on logging into the AP through a console port refer to Connecting to the , , , , , and Series Access Points Locally. To browse to the wireless device Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the wireless device IP address using one of the following methods:. The access point MAC address is on label attached to the bottom of the access point.
To configure it as a bridge, you must manually place it in install mode in order to align the antennas and establish a link. If you need to configure the access point locally without connecting the access point to a wired LAN , you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ serial cable.
Follow these steps to open the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:. Step 2 Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point.
Use the following settings for the terminal emulator connection: baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Step 3 When connected, press enter or type en to access the command prompt. Pressing enter takes you to the user exec mode. Entering en prompts you for a password, then takes you to the privileged exec mode. The default password is Cisco and is case-sensitive.
Note When your configuration changes are completed, you must remove the serial cable from the access point. If you need to configure the access point locally without connecting to a wired LAN , you can connect a PC to the Ethernet port on the long-reach power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use a local connection to the power injector Ethernet port the same as you would use a serial port connection.
Note You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the power injector; you can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable. Follow these steps to connect to the bridge locally:. Step 2 With the power cable disconnected from the power injector, connect your PC to the power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable.
Do not attempt to change any of the Ethernet Port 0 settings. If you make a mistake and need to start over, follow the steps in the Resetting the Device to Default Settings. Consult your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions. This was done in order to prevent unauthorized users to access a customer wireless network through an access point having a default SSID and no security settings. You must create an SSID before you can enable the access point radio interfaces.
After you determine or assign the wireless device IP address, you can browse to the wireless device Express Setup page and perform an initial configuration:. An Enter Network Password screen appears. Step 3 Press Tab to bypass the Username field and advance to the Password field.
Step 4 Enter the case-sensitive password Cisco and press Enter. Step 5 Click Easy Setup. The Express Setup screen appears. Step 7 Enter the Network Configuration settings which you obtained from your system administrator. The configurable settings include:. Note You can enter up to 32 characters for the system name. However, when the wireless device identifies itself to client devices, it uses only the first 15 characters in the system name.
If it is important for client users to distinguish between wireless devices, make sure that a unique portion of the system name appears in the first 15 characters. Note When you change the system name, the wireless device resets the radios, causing associated client devices to disassociate and quickly reassociate. Note If the wireless device IP address changes while you are configuring the wireless device using the web-browser interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the wireless device.
If you lose your connection, reconnect to the wireless device using its new IP address. Step 8 Enter the following Radio Configuration settings for the radio bands supported by the access point.
Both the 2. This is a useful option for an SSID used by guests or by client devices in a public space. Only one SSID can be included in the wireless device beacon. You can specify up to four WEP keys, i.
Key 1, 2, 3, and 4. Enter each key value, and specify whether it is bit or 40 bit. Make sure clients are WPA certified before selecting this option. Accepts associations from clients and bridges wireless traffic from the clients to the wireless LAN. This setting can be applied to any access point.
Accepts associations from clients and bridges wireless traffic from the clients to root access point connected to the wireless LAN. In this mode, the device also accepts associations from clients.
A workgroup bridge can have a maximum of clients, presuming that no other wireless clients are associated to the root bridge or access point. This field appears only in the universal workgroup bridge mode. In the Scanner mode, the access point does not accept associations from clients.
It continuously scans and reports wireless traffic it detects from other wireless devices on the wireless LAN. All access points can be configured as a scanner. Clicking Custom takes you to the Network Interfaces. Step 12 Click the Settings tab to browse to the Settings page for the radio interface. Your wireless device is now running but probably requires additional configuring to conform to your network operational and security requirements. Consult the chapters in this manual for the information you need to complete the configuration.
Note You can restore access points to factory defaults by unplugging the power jack and plugging it back in while holding down the Mode button for a few seconds, or until the Status LED turns amber. Table lists the default settings for the settings on the Express Setup page. Least-Congested for 2. You can use the options given in this section to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them.
You can create up to 16 SSIDs on the wireless device. On dual-radio wireless devices, the SSIDs that you create are enabled by default on both radio interfaces. You must configure an SSID before client devices can associate to the access point. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive, characters. The first character can not contain the following characters:.
The following characters are invalid and cannot be used in an SSID:. Table describes the four security types that you can assign to an SSID. This is the least secure option.
This option is more secure than no security. However, static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack. Mandatory WEP. This option enables You are required to enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network server authentication port Because Mandatory Client devices that associate using this SSID must perform If you are using the CLI, this warning message appears:. Wi-Fi Protected Access WPA permits wireless access to users authenticated against a database through the services of an authentication server, then encrypts their IP traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP.
As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network server authentication port Mandatory WPA authentication.
The security settings in the Easy Setup Radio Configuration section are designed for simple configuration of basic security. The options available are a subset of the wireless device security capabilities. Keep these limitations in mind when using the Express Security page:. This section contains these example configurations:. Example: No Security for Radio 2. Example: EAP Authentication. Example: WPA2 for Radio 2.
Depending on your power source, you might need to enter the power source type in the access point configuration. If you use the AC power adapter to provide power access point, you do not need to adjust the access point configuration. If you use a switch to provide Power over Ethernet PoE to the , , , , , and access point, and the switch supports the IEEE If you use a power injector to provide power to the , , , , , or access point, select Power Injector on the System Software: System Configuration page and enter the MAC address of the switch port to which the access point is connected.
When enabled, the dot11 extension power native shifts the power tables the radio uses from the IEEE The Native Power tables were designed specifically to configure powers as low as -1dBm for Cisco Aironet radios that support these levels. The Cisco Aironet Series access points requires 20W of power for optimum performance of This allows you to configure one radio to operate using This allows full functionality under Once you upgrade to a powering solution that provides 20W of power to the access point, you can configure the second radio so that both radios are fully functional with 2x3 multiple input multiple output MIMO technology.
Certain radio configurations may require more power than can be provided by the inline power source. When insufficient inline power is available, you can select several options based upon your access point radio configuration as shown in Table Maximum transmit power will vary by channel and according to individual country regulations.
Refer to the product documentation for specific details. It is designed to provide high throughput and operate in the 5 GHz band. CLI on the otherhand is probably the best way to set this thing up.
If you want wireless that you never have to think about again, get this guy. And if you are getting this for your house, I envy you. Pros: Thsi is an amazing WAP. I had a client that has tried a number of other WAPs with dissapointing results.
Up to 30 people connected with zero issues. Speed and most important reliable connection is great. I now notice when I connect a laptop to it the connection is very fast unlike many other WAP I have tried. This is a solid piece of hardware you can feel from the heft of it when you pick it up. Cons: GUI interface is definitley unlike any I have seen, I was able to figure it out after reviewing some assorted Cisco documents. It came with sparse documention. Pros: I have one of these in a high use conference room.
It is regularly subjected to abuse. The design is unobtrusive and resilient. One random user did manage to pull the power out on it, still not sure how. Other than that, absolutely no problems.
The CLI looks just like other Cisco gear. Great if you are a Cisco person, bad if you are not Cons: Set up was a bit of work the first time around. The fact that the light ring is really a status code is not obvious to people who haven't been told. Pros: We have 4 of these where I work and they are great. Set them up and that's it Easy status monitoring with the colored ring on the front.
Pros: This is the most reliable wireless solution I've used. It is also by far the most feature-rich. Overall Review: I've deployed two of these in our organization and I've never had to deal with them since except for adding mac addresses. Item : N82E Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. Reset done!
