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

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

(PoE) of the wireless access point.

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, page 6 for details about the different lights on each switch.

6Getting 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, page10 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.

Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 8

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.

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

and Password fields.

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

STEP 7 Follow 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 ,

page11.

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

7Suggested Next Steps

Smart Power Source

Smart PoE is designed for detecting the power level from the PSE (Power Sourcing

Equipment) side; it does not matter whether 802.3at or 802.3af mode, the WAP581

will operate at the appropriate mode automatically.

Smart PoE ensures that the WAP581 remains functional once powered by 802.3af

PSE, and intelligently to adjust operations below:

•Second Ethernet port disabled

•2.4-GHz 802.11n radio in 2x2:2 spatial-stream mode

•5-GHz 802.11ac radio operates without restrictions

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 1 Verify that the Cisco WAP581 is powered on and the lights indicate the

appropriate links.

STEP 2 Locate 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 3 Open a command window by choosing Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 4 At 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

Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 10

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, 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,

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 solid red, contact system

support; see , page11.

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, 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
