Cisco AP541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 1
Getting Started
The Cisco AP541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point is an advanced,
standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The
access point enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while
providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features.
The access point operates in Standalone Mode. In Standalone Mode, the access
point acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using
the Access Point Configuration Utility, or SNMP.
This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and
maintenance of the access point in Standalone Mode. Before you power on a new
access point, review the following sections to check required hardware and
software components, client configurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure
you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of your new or
extended wireless network.
This chapter contains the following topics:
• Administrator Computer Requirements
• Connecting the Access Point to a PC
• Troubleshooting Your Connection
• Configuring the Access Point by using the Getting Started Page
• Verifying the Installation
• Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point
To manage the access point by using the Web interface, the access point needs
an IP address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on
your network, you might need to configure additional settings on the access point
before it can connect to the network.
