Please follow these steps to access the Wizard and then the web-based configuration utility from your computer by Ethernet: STEP 1 Ethernet: Connect the wireless access point to the same network (IP subnet) as your computer. The factory default IP address configuration of the access points is DHCP. Make sure your DHCP server is running and can be reached. See Incorrect IP Address, page10 for troubleshooting information, or if you do not have a DHCP server. Wireless: Search the wireless SSID "CiscoSB-Setup", and connect to this SSID with the passphrase "cisco123". STEP 2 Locate the IP address of the wireless access point.
Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 8 a. The wireless access points 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 wireless access points are Bonjour-enabled and automatically broadcast their services and listen 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 wireless access point 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 3 Launch a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. STEP 4 In the Address field, enter the default DHCP address and press the Enter key. STEP 5 Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the User Name and Password fields. STEP 6 Click Login. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears. STEP 7 Follow the Setup Wizard instructions to finish the WAP device installation. We strongly recommend that you use the Setup Wizard for the first installation.The Setup Wizard turns on the Wi-Fi radio, which allows you to connect wirelessly.

Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 9 7 Suggested Next Steps Smart Power Source Smart PoE is designed for detecting the power level from the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) side; it does not matter whether 802.3at or 802.3af mode, the WAP581 will operate at the appropriate mode automatically. Smart PoE ensures that the WAP581 remains functional once powered by 802.3af PSE, and intelligently to adjust operations below: • Second Ethernet port disabled • 2.4-GHz 802.11n radio in 2x2:2 spatial-stream mode • 5-GHz 802.11ac radio operates without restrictions In case of an error while installing, try the following troubleshooting procedures described in this section: Troubleshooting If you cannot display the configuration utility, you can test the ability of the computer to communicate with the device by using ping. To use ping on a computer running Windows: STEP 1 Verify that the Cisco WAP581 is powered on and the lights indicate the appropriate links. STEP 2 Locate the device’s IP address. While there are different ways to locate your device’s 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 device IP address is displayed along with other device information. STEP 3 Open a command window by choosing Start > Run and enter cmd. STEP 4 At the command window prompt, enter ping and the device 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
Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 10 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 your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that you have a link. See Verifying the Hardware Installation, page 6. • 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, page 6. • Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your devices. Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP device, and routers, any switches, and your computer. • Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The access point and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set. Bad Image After a new firmware installation, if the Power light is solid red, contact system support; see , page11. 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 device. 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, page 7 for more information on how to find the DHCP address. If the wireless access points do not receive a DHCP response (there is no DHCP server on your network) after 60 seconds, the access points will fallback to the following default static IP address: 192.168.1.245 and a default mask of
Cisco WAP125 Quick Start Guide 11 255.255.255.0. To reach that IP address, be sure that your computer is on the 192.168.1.xxx network. 8 Rebooting the Devices or Returning them to their Factory Default Settings To reboot your device: • The Cisco WAP581 uses PoE power supply; unplug your PoE port Ethernet connection for three seconds and plug it back in. or • With the power on, press the Reset button with an opened paper clip for less than three 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 device to factory default settings and lose your configurations. To reset the device to factory default settings: With the power on, press and hold the Reset button with an opened paper clip for more than 10 seconds. The system light will go off. Release the Reset button when the system light turns on. 9 Where to Go from Here Support Cisco Support Community www.cisco.com/go/smallbizsupport Cisco Support and Resources www.cisco.com/go/smallbizhelp Phone Support Contacts www.cisco.com/en/US/support/ tsd_cisco_small_business _support_center_contacts.html
