Cisco 500 Series Quick Start Quide

Cisco Small Business WAP500 Series Wireless Access Point 7
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 1 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” on page 9 for troubleshooting
information, or if you do not have a DHCP server.
STEP 2 Locate 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 Internet Explorer
browser from Apple’s Web site by visiting
http://www.apple.com/bonjour/.
c. Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by
accessing your router/DHCP Server; see your DHCP server
instructions for information.
STEP 3 Launch a web browser, such as 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.
