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 1Connect 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 2Locate 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 3Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

STEP 4In the Address field enter the default DHCP address and press the

Enter key.

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

User Name and Password fields.

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

8 Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE

STEP 7Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the WAP device

installation. For more advanced configurations, see the

Administration Guide. A link to the Administration Guide is found in

“Where to Go From Here” on page 11.

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

Suggested Next Steps

In case of an error while installing, try the following troubleshooting

procedures:

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 1Verify that the Cisco WAP121 or WAP321 is powered on and the

lights indicate the appropriate links.

STEP 2Locate 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 Mozilla

Firefox 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 3Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 4At 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

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 Failure

No Power

•Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.

•If your access point is using PoE, make sure your PoE switch is powered

on and the lights indicate that you have a link. See “Verifying the

Hardware Installation” on page 6.

•Verify that the power button is on; only applicable if you are not using

PoE.

•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” on page 6.

•Check the connectors of the Ethernet cable to ensure they are firmly

plugged into the switch 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 flashing quickly,

contact system support; see “Where to Go From Here” on page 11.

Incorrect IP Address

The most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address. The

Web browser may be pointed 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” on 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 255.255.255.0. To reach that IP address, be sure that your

computer is on the 192.168.1.xxx network.
