10 Cisco WAP361 Quick Start Guide
Getting Started with the Configuration
To configure the Cisco WAP361, follow these steps to access the the web-
based Configuration Utility and then the Setup Wizard from your computer:
STEP 1Connect the Cisco WAP361 to the same network (IP subnet) as your
computer. The factory default IP address configuration of the Cisco
WAP361 is DHCP. Make sure that your DHCP server is running and
can be reached.
See “Incorrect IP Address” for troubleshooting information, or if
you do not have a DHCP server.
STEP 2Locate the IP address of the Cisco WAP361.
a. The Cisco WAP361 can be accessed and managed by Cisco
network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT Network
Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover all
supported Cisco devices in the same local network segment
as your computer. You can get a snapshot view of each device
or launch the product configuration utility to view and
configure the settings. For more information, see
www.cisco.com/go/findit.
b. The Cisco WAP361 is Bonjour-enabled and automatically
broadcasts its services and listens for services being
advertised by other Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a
Bonjour-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari browser, you
can find the Cisco WAP361 on your local network without
knowing its IP address.
You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser from Apple’s website by visiting:
http://www.apple.com/bonjour/
c. Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by
accessing your router or DHCP server. See your DHCP server
instructions for more information.
STEP 3Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
STEP 4In the address bar, enter the default DHCP address and press the
Enter key.
STEP 5Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the
Username and Password fields.
STEP 6Click Log In. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears.
6
Cisco WAP361 Quick Start Guide 11
STEP 7Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the WAP device
installation.
We strongly recommend that you use the Setup Wizard for the first
installation. For more advanced configurations, see the
Administration Guide. A link to the Administration Guide is found in
“Where to Go From Here”.
Congratulations, you can now start using the Cisco WAP361.
Suggested Next Steps
In case of an error while installing, try the troubleshooting procedures
described in this section.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot display the web-based Configuration Utility, you can test the
ability of the computer to communicate with the Cisco WAP361 by using
ping.
To u s e ping on a computer running Windows:
STEP 1Verify that the Cisco WAP361 is powered on and the lights if they
do not indicate the appropriate links.
STEP 2Locate the Cisco WAP361’s IP address. While there are different
ways to locate the IP address, this procedure uses Cisco FindIT.
a. If you have previously downloaded Cisco FindIT, open Internet
Explorer and launch Cisco FindIT. For more information on
downloading Cisco FindIT, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.
b. In the Cisco FindIT display, place your mouse over the device’s
name. The Cisco WAP361’s IP address is displayed along with
other device information.
STEP 3Open a command window by choosing Start > Run and enter
cmd.
STEP 4At the command window prompt, enter ping and the Cisco
WAP361’s IP address. In this example, we pinged 192.0.2.10.
If successful, you should get a reply similar to the following:
Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.0.2.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
7
Cisco WAP361 Quick Start Guide 12
If it fails, you should get a reply similar to the following:
Pinging 192.0.2.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Possible Cause of Installation Failure
No Power
Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.
Make sure that your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that
you have a link. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation”.
Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a switchable
outlet.
Bad Ethernet Connection
Check the state of the indicator lights. See “Verifying the Hardware
Installation”.
Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your
devices. Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP
devices, and routers, any switches, and your computer.
Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The Cisco
WAP361 and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.
Bad Image
After a new firmware installation, if the POWER light is solid red, which
indicates that the device fails to boot with both firmware images, contact
system support; see “Where to Go From Here”.
Incorrect IP Address
The most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address. The
Web browser may be pointing to the wrong IP address, or your computer
may be configured with an IP address that is not in the same subnet as the
Cisco WAP361.
Because the factory default IP address configuration is DHCP, make sure
that your DHCP server is running and can be reached. You may need to
disconnect and reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP
addresses from the DHCP server. You can then query the DHCP server for
the new IP address. See Step 2 of “Getting Started with the
Configuration” for more information on how to find the DHCP address.
Cisco WAP361 Quick Start Guide 13
If the Cisco WAP361 does not receive a DHCP response (there is no DHCP
server on your network) after 60 seconds, the Cisco WAP361 will fallback
to the following default static IP address: 192.168.1.245 and a default mask
of 255.255.255.0. To reach that IP address, be sure that your computer is
on the 192.168.1.xxx network.
Rebooting the Cisco WAP361 or Resetting
to Factory Defaults
To reboot your Cisco WAP361:
•If the Cisco WAP361 uses a power adapter, with the power on, use the
POWER button to reboot the device. The POWER button only functions
when the Cisco WAP361 uses a power adapter.
•If the power supply is PoE, unplug your Ethernet connection for three
seconds and plug it back in.
•With the power on, press the RESET button with an opened paper clip
for less than 10 seconds, or until the lights go off.
– When all the lights go off, release the RESET button.
– Release the RESET button as soon as the lights go off, or you will
restore the Cisco WAP361 to factory default settings and lose your
configurations.
To reset the Cisco WAP361 to factory default settings:
•With the power on, press and hold the RESET button with an opened
paper clip for more than 10 seconds.
– All of the lights will go off.
– Release the RESET button when the power light turns on.
