Radio status disabled

IP Address

Assigned by If DHCP disabled, the access makes several DHCP attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If it does not receive an address, it assigns itself an IP address of 10.0.0.1 for 5 minutes and becomes a mini-DHCP server. During this 5 minute window, you can browse to the default IP address and configure a static address. If after 5 minutes the access point is not reconfigured, it discards the IP address and sends DHCP request indefinitely.

OL-16708-01

Note

If you miss the five-minute window for browsing to the access point at 10.0.0.1, you can power-cycle the access point to repeat the process.

Note

In the capacity of a mini-DHCP server, the access point provides up to 20 IP addresses between 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.30 to Ethernet-capable PC connected to its Ethernet port and wireless client devices configured with no SSID or tsunami as the SSID, and with all security settings disabled. The mini-DHCP server feature is disabled automatically when you assign a static IP address to the access point.

Caution

When the access point is connected to your LAN, the access point mini-DHCP server provides an IP address to any DHCP requests it receives.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

Default SSID and Radio Behavior

In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA2 and earlier, the access point radio is enabled by default and the default SSID is tsunami. In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, the access point radio is disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radio before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points.

Enabling the Radio Interfaces

To enable the radio interface, follow these instructions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Use your web-browser to access your access point. When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11B or Radio0-802.11G and the radio status page appears. Click Settings and the radio settings page appears. Click Enable in the Enable Radio field. Click Apply.

Introduction to the Access Point

The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point is a wireless LAN transceiver that serves as the center point of a stand alone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired networks. Designed for the enterprise office environment, the access point is IEEE 802.11b- or g-compliant, depending on the radio installed, and operates in the 2.4-GHz frequency band. The access point uses the Cisco IOS operating system. Cisco IOS software is a feature-rich, network systems software that provides a common IP fabric, functionality, and command-line interface (CLI) across the entire network. This guide describes how to set up the access point using its graphical user interface (GUI) through your web browser. You can also set up and configure the access point through its CLI within a Telnet session. For detailed information about the CLI, see the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Installation and Configuration Guide.

Connecting the Access Point to Your Network

The following sections describe the various methods you can use to connect the access point to your network.

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power Source

Follow these steps to connect the access point to the Ethernet LAN when you have an inline power source: 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on the access point. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the following: a. A switch with inline power, such as a Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL switch. b. An inline power switch panel, such as a Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel. c. The end of a Cisco Aironet power injector labeled To AP/Bridge. Connect the other end labeled To Network to the 10/100 Ethernet LAN.

14

OL-16708-01

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with Local Power

Follow these steps to connect the access point to an Ethernet LAN when you have a local power source: 1. 2. 3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on the access point. Connect the power packs power output connector to the 48 VDC power port labeled 48 VDC on the access point. Plug the other end of the power pack into an approved 100 to 250 VAC outlet.

Powering Up the Access Point

When power is applied to the access point, it begins a routine power-up sequence that you can monitor by observing the three LEDs on top of the access point. All three LEDs on the top of the access point (Infrastructure, Status, and Radio) slowly blink amber, red, and green in sequence; the sequence takes a couple of minutes to complete.

Note

See the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Installation and Configuration Guide for a detailed description of the LED displays.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

15

When the sequence is complete, you are ready to associate an IP address with the access point and perform an initial configuration. The easiest way to initially configure your access point is by browsing to its Express Setup page.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

To browse to the access points Express Setup page, you must obtain or assign the access points IP address using one of the following methods: Use the default IP address (10.0.0.1) (inside the 5 minute time window for release 12.3(4) and later) the first time you power up and configure the access point. To do this, see the Connecting to the Access Point Locally section on page 17. Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can obtain the IP address by one of the following methods: Provide your organizations network administrator with your access points Media Access Control (MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address to identify the IP address. Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XT.

16

OL-16708-01

Note

IPSU is available for downloading at the Software Center on Cisco.com.

Connecting to the Access Point Locally

If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN), you can connect to it wirelessly using a wireless client adapter or through its Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. If the access point is not connected to a DHCP server or cannot obtain an IP address, it defaults to the IP address of 10.0.0.1. You can browse to the access point using this IP address. If you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later and miss the 5-minute time window, reboot the access point and try again. Follow these steps to connect to the access point locally: 1. To configure the access point through its Ethernet port, connect your PC to the access point using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. Make sure the PC you intend to use is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, or manually assign it an IP address of 10.0.0.2 (or an address in the same subnet). Power up the access point.

Configuring Security Settings

Cisco IOS Release 12.2 (15)JA and later releases include an Express Security page. After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your work site. Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. The following illustration shows the Express Security page for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA.

25

The following table briefly describes the four security settings you can assign to an SSID using the Express Security page. In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later, you must assign an SSID. Security Type No Security Description The least secure option. Use this option only for SSIDs used in a public space and assign it to a VLAN that restricts access to your network. More secure than no security. However, static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack.

Static WEP Key

EAP Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP address Authentication and shared secret for an authentication server on your network (server authentication port 1645). You do not need to enter a WEP key. WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to users authenticated against a database through the services of an authentication server, then encrypts their IP traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP. As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network (server authentication port 1645).
