When you log in, the Getting Started page for the access point Configuration
Utility is displayed, as shown in Figure 4.
STEP 4 Update the Cisco AP541N software with the latest version by clicking the Software
Upgrade link,
as shown in Figure 4.
Next, we recommend that you:
• Change the password by clicking Change Administrator Password.
• Configure the SSID and enable wireless security, by clicking Configure
Wireless Networks (SSIDs).
• Enable the wireless radio, by clicking Enable Wireless Radio.
• Assign a new static IP address to the access point if your network devices
are configured with static IP addresses, by clicking Set LAN IP Address.
!
CAUTION If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use
one, we recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if you bring up
another WLAN Cisco AP541N on the same network, the IP address for each access
point is unique. If the IP address is not unique, a conflict results causing
unpredictable results.
To change the connection type and assign a static IP address by using the Access
Point Configuration Utility, see LAN Settings, page 35.
