Mounting the Cisco WAP371 Wireless-AC/N Dual

Radio Access Point with Single Point Setup

You can place your access point on a desktop, or mount it on a wall or ceiling.

Placement Tips

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the access point from overheating, do not

operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

• Air Flow—Both side panels have vents that must be unobstructed to prevent

overheating.

• Mechanical Loading—The device should be level, stable, and secure to prevent it

from sliding or shifting out of position.

Wall and Ceiling Mounting

The Cisco WAP371 device can be wall or ceiling-mounted. A mounting kit is

packaged with your device. The kit is designed to install your device to the wall or the

ceiling.

The mounting bracket has some flexibility so that you can reuse existing holes drilled

for a Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 device. The installer can remove the Cisco WAP551

or WAP561 and mount the Cisco WAP371.

The dimensions for the mount kit screws are as follows:

WARNING Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury. Cisco is not

responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall or ceiling mounting.

Getting Started with the Configuration

To configure the wireless access points, follow these steps to access the Wizard and

then the web-based configuration utility from your computer:

STEP 1Connect 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” on page 9 for troubleshooting information, or if

you do not have a DHCP server.

STEP 2Locate the IP address of the wireless access point.

a. The wireless access points can be accessed and managed by Cisco Small

Business network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT

Network Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover

all supported Cisco Small Business 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 3Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla

Firefox.

STEP 4In the Address field, enter the default DHCP address and press the Enter key.

STEP 5Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the User Name

and Password fields.

STEP 6Click Login. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears.

STEP 7Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the WAP device installation.

We strongly recommend that you use the Setup Wizard for the first

installation.The Setup Wizard turns on the Wi-Fi radio, which allows you to

connect wirelessly. For more advanced configurations, see the

Administration Guide. A link to the Administration Guide is found in

“Where to Go From Here” on page 11.

Congratulations, you can now start using your wireless access point.

Suggested Next Steps

In case of an error while installing, try the following troubleshooting procedures

described in this section:

Troubleshooting

If you cannot display the configuration utility, you can test the ability of the computer

to communicate with the device by using ping. To use ping on a computer running

Windows:

STEP 1Verify that the Cisco WAP371 is powered on and the lights indicate the

appropriate links.

STEP 2Locate the device’s IP address. While there are different ways to locate your

device’s IP address, this procedure uses Cisco FindIT.

a. If you have previously downloaded Cisco FindIT, open Internet

Explorer and launch Cisco FindIT. For more information on

downloading Cisco FindIT, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.

b. In the Cisco FindIT display, place your mouse over the device’s name.

The device IP address is displayed along with other device information.

STEP 3Open a command window by choosing Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 4At the command window prompt, enter ping and the device IP address. In

this example, we pinged 192.0.2.10.

If successful, you should get a reply similar to the following:

Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.0.2.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

If it fails, you should get a reply similar to the following:

Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Possible Cause of Installation Failure

Cisco Small Business WAP371 Series Wireless Access Point 9

Devices Cant Connect using Wi-Fi

• Complete the Setup Wizard. The Wi-Fi radio on the device is turned offbydefault,

and the Setup Wizard activates it. For users who do not want to use the Setup

Wizard, log into the device using a Category 5e Ethernet cable, and activate the

Wi-Fi radio manually. See the Administration Guide for details on activating the

Wi-Fi radio.

No Power

• Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.

• Make sure your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that you have a

link. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation” on page 6.

• Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a switchable outlet.

Bad Ethernet Connection

• Check the state of the indicator lights. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation”

on page 6.

• Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your devices.

Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP device, and routers,

any switches, and your computer.

• Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The access point and

the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.

Bad Image

After a new firmware installation, if the Power light is flashing quickly, contact

system support; see “Where to Go From Here” on page 11.

Incorrect IP Address

The most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address. The Web

browser may be pointing to the wrong IP address, or your computer may be

configured with an IP address that is not in the same subnet as the device.

Because the factory default IP address configuration is DHCP, make sure that your

DHCP server is running and can be reached. You may need to disconnect and

reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from the DHCP

server. You can then query the DHCP server for the new IP address. See Step 2 of

“Getting Started with the Configuration” on page 7 for more information on how to

find the DHCP address.

If the wireless access points do not receive a DHCP response (there is no DHCP

server on your network) after 60 seconds, the access points will fallback to the

following default static IP address: 192.168.1.245 and a default mask of

255.255.255.0. To reach that IP address, be sure that your computer is on the

192.168.1.xxx network.
