Installing the Cisco AP541N
The access point can be placed on a wall, a flat surface, a ceiling, or in a
ceiling plenum space. A ceiling mount kit is available for this device
(SKU#). Do not deploy the device in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not
exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40C).
Reduced Air Flow—The air flow must be adequate to prevent
overheating.
Mechanical Overloading—The device should be level, stable, and
secure to avoid it sliding or shifting out of position.
Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet or a PoE
port must not overload that circuit or PoE device.
NOTE
We recommend using Cat5e or better cable. Also, do not
exceed the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100
meters).
To place the access point on a desktop, install the four rubber feet
(included) on the bottom of the access point. Place the device on a flat
surface.
To prepare the device, do the following:
STEP 1 Attach the antennas to the RP-TNC connectors labeled ANT101,
ANT102, and ANT103. The antennas are all the same, so which
antenna is attached to what connector is of no consequence.
STEP 2 Determine where you want to locate the access point. If you are
using AC power, make sure the location is within reach of an AC
power outlet.
STEP 3 Keep enough ventilation space for the access point and check for
any environmental restrictions.

Getting Started with the
Configuration
This section contains information for starting the configuration utility to
provision the access point features. It also describes enabling the radio
that is turned off by default.
You can display the configuration utility by entering the access point IP
address in the URL field of a Web browser. The access point IP address is
the:
• factory default access point static IP address, if it has not been
changed in a previous configuration or replaced by an IP address
assigned by a DHCP server running on the network.
• dynamically assigned IP address allocated to the access point by a
DHCP server.
TIP
If you deploy the Cisco AP541N in a Cisco Small Business
Pro network that is running DHCP, you can use
Cisco Configuration Assistant 2.0 or higher to discover the
Cisco AP541N IP address.
The factory defaults are:

Display the Configuration GUI and Enable the
Radio
For security reasons, the radio is off by default. This procedure describes
how to access the GUI and enable the radio.
Before you begin:
• Verify that you have a power source for theCisco AP541N. If you will be
deploying the Cisco AP541N by using PoE, it might be necessary to
temporarily power the device by using the provided power supply or
by connecting it to a hub or switch that provides PoE.
• The Cisco AP541N IP address is required. If the IP address is unknown,
you can reset the device to use the static default Cisco AP541N IP
address by using the “Returning the Cisco AP541N to the Factory
Default Settings” procedure.
To configure the access point by using a PC directly connected to the
Cisco AP541N or connected through a hub or switch:
STEP 1 Power on the PC and configure the PC IP address to an IP address
in the same subnetwork. The default Cisco AP541N IP address is
192.168.10.10. For example, you can set the:
PC IP address to 192.168.10.250
PC IP subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
PC Default Gateway to 192.168.10.10.
STEP 2 Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the PC.
STEP 3 Connect the other end of the PC Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port
on a switch, hub, or the Cisco AP541N Ethernet port. If you
connected the PC through a switch or a hub, connect the Cisco
AP541N to that device by using another Ethernet cable.
STEP 4 Power on the access point.
STEP 5 Open a Web browser window. If you are prompted to install an
Active-X plug-in when connecting to the device, follow the
prompts to accept the plug-in.

STEP 6 Enter the Cisco AP541N IP address in the address bar and press
Enter. For example, enter http://192.168.10.10. The login window
displays.
STEP 7 Enter the default username cisco and the default password cisco.
(Passwords are case sensitive.) The configuration window displays.
NOTE
We recommend that you change the username and password.
STEP 8 Click Wireless > Basic Settings.
STEP 9 Click the Radio Interface On radio button.
STEP 10 Click Update. A warning displays, indicating that you might loose
connectivity. Because you are configuring the access point by
using a wired connection, this will not occur unless enabling the
radio establishes a network connection and the IP address is
changed by the DHCP server.
STEP 11 Click OK to continue.
The the configuration is updated and WLAN LED lights green. You
can configure additional parameters or close the window.
Troubleshoot Your Connection
If you cannot display the configuration utility, you can test the ability of the
PC to communicate with the access point by using ping. To use ping on a
PC running Windows:
STEP 1 Verify that the Cisco AP541N is powered on and the LEDs indicate
the appropriate links.
STEP 2 Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.
STEP 3 At the Command window prompt enter ping and the access
point IP address. For example ping 192.168.10.10.
If successful, you should get a reply similar to the following:
Pinging 192.168.10.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.10.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
If it fails, you should get a reply similar to the following:

Pinging 192.168.10.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Possible Cause of Failure
The 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/
