Cisco AP541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 13
Connecting the Equipment
This section describes the process for connecting the device to power
and the network.
STEP 1 Attach the power cord to the power connector and outlet (if used).
STEP 2 Connect a network Ethernet cable to the access point Ethernet
port.
STEP 3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network or the
Ethernet port of the PC you are using to configure the access point.
CAUTION DHCP is enabled by default. If a DHCP server is running on
your network and you have not turned DHCP off, the device
will accept a new IP address when it is connected to your
network. You must use this IP address to configure the
device.
