You connect to it through a web browser. The WAP runs a web interface. The default IP of a Cisco access point is 10.0.0.1, but if you dont connect to it within a few minutes it will pull a DHCP address and then you'll need to check the DHCP server to find out what address it pulled. Usually it shows up in the DHCP leases ad "ap" .
If you plug it into a switch and connect your computer to the same switch, then do a factory reset on it (hold in the mode button, unlug power while holding down mode button, then insert power and keep holding mode button down for about 10 seconds) then the AP should have an iP of 10.0.0.1. Then make sure your computers ip is something like 10.0.0.2/24 and you should be able to browse to it. Or from the command line via the console that you have hooked up right now do this:
-----------------------
login (username:cisco, pass: Cisco) and it is CASE sensitive
config t
interface BVI1
ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
no shut
exit
copy run start
-------------------------
Then you should be able to browse to the IP address through a web browser to the IP address you just configured on the AP. Just make sure to give it an IP on your current subnet.
OK.
step 1: set your computer address to
IP: 10.0.0.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
def gatwy: 10.0.0.2
step 2: On the AP, hold in the mode button, unlug power while holding down mode button, then insert power and keep holding mode button down for about 10 seconds. This is a factory reset to make sure it has factory settings.
step 3: from you laptop open internet explorer or firefox and browse to 10.0.0.1. Use the username: cisco, password: Cisco
step 4: now your in the AP and can set an 192.168.0.X ip address on it
step 5: dont forget to set your computer back to a 192.168.0.x address
--------------------------
If this doesnt seem to be working then try this:
step 1: unplug the AP from the switch
step 2: plug into the console port of the AP to get a command line connection
step 3 login with cisco/Cisco
step 4: use the following commands to set an IP address on teh AP:
config t
interface BVI1
ip address 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0
no shut
exit
copy run start
step 5: unplug from the console port of teh AP
step 6: plug the AP into the switch
step 7: from your computer make sure you can ping the IP address of the IP you put on the AP
step 8: from you laptop open internet explorer or firefox and browse to the IP address you set on the AP
That's it!
Hi,
It seems you have a Cisco 1121 Access Point which doesnt comes with Console port.
So the only option to configure it is connecting the AP to the desktop using crossover cable.
Keep the IP configuration of Desktop to Automatic i.e DHCP.
Check the IP assigned to you by DHCP.
open Internet explorer or Mozilla and put http://10.0.0.1
it will prompt you for username and password
Username -cisco
password-Cisco (note C is capital)
go to express security setup and do the configuration you want but make sure that both the APs have same configuration except for IP address and Channel..
Hope it helps.
theres a mode button adjacent to the ethernet port of the Access Point.
1.power off the AP.
2.Press the mode button and power on the AP without releasing the Mode button.
3.keep pressing the button unless the system LED or middle LED turns RED in color.this may take 30 seconds.
4.Release the Mode button and reboot it.
5. now try the steps i told you earlier.
can you please confirm me the AP model.
ALL THE BEST.

Just configure them the same. Use the same SSID, but different channels (i.e. channel 1 on 1st and channel 6 on second WAP, just make sure they're set to auto channel select or that the channel are 5 channels apart). Use the same type of authentication and make sure the WAP's are on the same subnet (i.e. both on 192.168.10.0/24). This will provide seamless mobility for your users.
