12 Cisco AP541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start GuideREVIEW DRAFT — CISCO CONFIDENTIALPinging 192.168.10.10 with 32 bytes of data:Request timed out.Possible Cause of FailureThe most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address.DHCP is enabled on the Cisco AP541N by default. When a DHCP server is enabled on your network and the access point is connected to the network, the DHCP server replaces the default static IP address with a DHCP server–assigned IP address. You might lose connectivity between the PC and the access point, because the Web browser is pointed to the wrong IP address.Or, your PC is configured with a static IP address that is not in the same subnet as the access point.If the access point is not in a Cisco Small Business Pro network, you can query the DHCP server for the new IP address or disconnect the access point from the network and reset the device to use the static default access point IP address by using the “Returning the Cisco AP541N to the Factory Default Settings” procedure.If the access point is connected to a Cisco Small Business Pro network, the IP address can be discovered by using Cisco Configuration Assistant 2.0 or higher. Use the procedure in the Cisco Configuration Assistant 2.1 Smart Business Communications System Administrator Guide, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_configuration_assistant/version2_1/feature/guide/cca_feature_guide.pdf.
