Connecting the Cisco WAP581 Wireless-

AC/N Premium Dual Radio Access Point

with PoE Setup

The WiFi default SSID is “Cisco SB-Setup” with the passphrase “cisco123”

in WPA2-PSK AES. This wireless default configuration will not allow traffic

between WiFi and Ethernet; users will need to go through the setup wizard

to resume the traffic between WiFi and Ethernet.

The user can also perform the initial configuration using a wired Ethernet

connection.

To connect the device to the wired network:

STEP 1Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a PoE switch.

STEP 2Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port (PoE) of the wireless access point.

Cisco WAP581 Wireless Access Point 6

NOTE WAP581 bundles the two Ethernet ports to be link

aggregation mode. If the two Ethernet ports have been connected

at the same time, the link partner must also support link

aggregation.

After installation, all lights should be active. Refer to Verifying the

Hardware Installation for details about the different lights on each switch.

Verifying the Hardware Installation

To verify the hardware installation, complete the following tasks:

•Check the cable connections.

•Check the state of the indicator lights

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 1Ethernet: 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 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 2Locate 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 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.

Cisco WAP581 Wireless Access Point 8

STEP 5Enter the default user name: cisco and password: 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.

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

Suggested Next Steps

Smart Power Source

Smart Power Source is designed for detecting the power source from an

external power adapter or PSE(802.3at and 802.3af). When both external

power adapter and PSE co-exist, the external power adapter will take

higher priority, which means that the power source is from the external

power adapter. It does not matter whether the power source is from

external power adapter or PSE(802.3at and 802.3af), the WAP581 will

operate at the appropriate mode automatically.

Smart Power Source ensures that the WAP581 remains functional when

•5G radio disabled

•2.4G radio in 2x2:2ss (spatial-stream) mode

•2.5GbE(EHT0/PD) downgrade to 1GbE

•1GbE(ETH1) disabled

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 u s e ping on a computer running Windows:

Cisco WAP581 Wireless Access Point 9

STEP 1Verify that the Cisco WAP581 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

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.

•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.

•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.
