6 Cisco WAP131 Quick Start GuideGetting Started with the ConfigurationTo configure the Cisco WAP131, follow these steps to access the Wizard and then the web-based Configuration Utility from your computer:STEP 1Connect the Cisco WAP131 to the same network (IP subnet) as your computer. The factory default IP address configuration of the Cisco WAP131 is DHCP. Make sure that your DHCP server is running and can be reached.See “Incorrect IP Address” on page 8 for troubleshooting information, or if you do not have a DHCP server. STEP 2Locate the IP address of the Cisco WAP131.a. The Cisco WAP131 can be accessed and managed by Cisco Small Business network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover all supported Cisco Small Business 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 WAP131 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 WAP131 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 field, enter the default DHCP address and press the Enter key.STEP 5Enter the default user name of cisco and password of cisco in the User Name and Password fields.STEP 6Click Login. The Wireless Access Point Setup Wizard appears.6

Cisco WAP131 Quick Start Guide 7STEP 7Follow 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. For more advanced configurations, see the Administration Guide. Congratulations, you can now start using your Cisco WAP131.Suggested Next StepsIn case of an error while installing, try the following troubleshooting procedures described in this section:TroubleshootingIf you cannot display the Configuration Utility, you can test the ability of the computer to communicate with the wireless access point by using ping. To use ping on a computer running Windows: STEP 1Verify that the Cisco WAP131is powered on and the lights indicate the appropriate links.STEP 2Locate the Cisco WAP131’s IP address. While there are different ways to locate the Cisco WAP131’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 Cisco WAP131’s name. The Cisco WAP131’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 WAP131’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=1287

8 Cisco WAP131 Quick Start GuideIf 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 FailureDevices Cant Connect using Wi-FiComplete the Setup Wizard. The Wi-Fi radio on the Cisco WAP131 is turned off by default, and the Setup Wizard activates it. For users who do not want to use the Setup Wizard, log into the Cisco WAP131 using a Category 5e Ethernet cable, and activate the Wi-Fi radio manually. See the Administration Guide for details on activating the Wi-Fi radio.No PowerPower 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” on page 5.Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a switchable outlet.Bad Ethernet ConnectionCheck the state of the indicator lights. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation” on page 5.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 Cisco WAP131 and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.Bad ImageAfter a new firmware installation, if the POWER light is flashing quickly, contact system support; see “Where to Go From Here” on page 10.Incorrect IP AddressThe 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 wireless access point.

Cisco WAP131 Quick Start Guide 9Because 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” on page 6 for more information on how to find the DHCP address.If the Cisco WAP131 does not receive a DHCP response (there is no DHCP server on your network) after 60 seconds, the Cisco WAP131 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 WAP131 or Returning it to its Factory Default SettingsTo reboot your Cisco WAP131:•When the power supply is PoE, unplug your 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 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 access point to factory default settings and lose your configurations.To reset the Cisco WAP131 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.8
