In this situation, obtain a unique IP address for your access point, a default gateway, and subnet mask from your network system administrator. Mounting the Access Point The access point uses a detachable universal mounting plate to mount the access point to flat surfaces such as a wall or ceiling. The universal mounting plate is also used to mount the access point to an electrical or network junction box, or to the provided rail clips for below a suspended ceiling. The mounting process is simple and requires common tools. Because it is detachable, you can use the universal mounting plate to mark the positions of the mounting holes for your installation. You then install the universal mounting bracket on the surface and attach the access point when you are ready. When you have mounted the access point, its padlock post enables you to protect the Ethernet, power cables, and Mode button, and to lock the access point with a padlock. Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 521 Access Points 11 a521qsg.fmb Page 12 Monday, March 12, 2007 10:40 AM DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL Connecting Power Connect the 521 series access point to a power source. The access point can be powered locally by using an AC power module or over the Ethernet using power sourcing equipment (PSE). When power is supplied to the access point, a routine power-up sequence begins which you can monitor by observing the access point status LED. During the power up sequence the LED displays a series of colors. When the power up sequence is complete, the LED displays a light green color to indicate that it is ready for operation. When a client associates to the access point, the status LED changes to blue. The LED displays amber to indicate a problem, such as when the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is supplying sufficient power. See the “Configuring Power” section on page 17. Obtaining an IP Address Your access point needs an IP address to operate. The access point is no longer shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address from your network’s DHCP server when you connect the access point to your network. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. 12 78-18092-01 a521qsg.fmb Page 13 Monday, March 12, 2007 10:40 AM DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL You must know your access point’s IP address before you can use the web-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address from your network’s DHCP server, you or your network administrator can find it by querying the DHCP server using the access point’s MAC address. You can also find the access point’s IP address using Cisco’s IP Setup Utility You can download IPSU from Cisco.com. Configuring Power After connecting the access point to a power source, its status LED might be amber, which can indicate that the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is supplying sufficient power. In such cases, you will need to configure settings on the access point or the switch to identify your power source. Configuring Basic Settings Follow these steps to configure basic settings for the access point using the GUI Express Setup page. Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 521 Access Points 13 a521qsg.fmb Page 14 Monday, March 12, 2007 10:40 AM DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL Configuring Security Settings 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.
