Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 6

Getting Started

The Cisco Access Point provides continuous, high-speed access between

wireless devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based

solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The access point

enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-

the-art wireless networking features.

The access point operates in Standalone Mode. In Standalone Mode, the access

point acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using

the Access Point Configuration Utility, or SNMP.

This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and

maintenance of the access point in Standalone Mode. Before you power on a new

access point, review the following sections to check required hardware and

software components, client configurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure

you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of your new or

extended wireless network.

This chapter contains the following topics:

•Administrator Computer Requirements

•Connecting the Access Point to a PC

•Troubleshooting Your Connection

•Configuring the Access Point by using the Getting Started Page

•Verifying the Installation

•Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point

To manage the access point by using the Web interface, the access point needs

an IP address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on

your network, you might need to configure additional settings on the access point

before it can connect to the network.

NOTE The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect

your WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device.

Administrator Computer Requirements

Table 1 describes the minimum requirements for the personal computer for the

initial configuration and administration of the access point through a Access Point

Configuration Utility.

Table 1 Requirements for Configuration

Required Software

or Component

Description

Ethernet Connection

to the Access Point

The computer used to configure the access point must

be connected to the access point by an Ethernet cable.

The IP address must be on the same subnet as the

access point. The subnet mask must match the subnet

mask of the access point. The Administration PC IP

Address section describes the procedure for changing

these parameters on a PC running Windows.

Web Browser and

Operating System

The following Web browsers can be used to display

the access point Configuration Utility Web pages:

•Microsoft®Internet Explorer®version 6.x or 7.x

(with up-to-date patch level for either major

version) and Mozilla Firefox 3.x on Microsoft

Windows®XP or Microsoft Windows 2000

•Mozilla Firefox 3.x on Redhat®Linux®version 2.4

or later

The Web browser must have JavaScript™ enabled to

support the interactive features of the Configuration

Utility interface.

Security Settings Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client

used initially to configure the access point. Once the

device has been configured, security can be enabled.
