If the AP needs to connect to the Ethernet, ensure that the Ethernet cable is working

properly. If the Ethernet cable is not working properly, for example, RJ45 connectors are short-

circuited, the AP may fail to be powered on or fail to work. Before connecting an Ethernet cable

to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualified. If the cable is

unqualified, replace it.

● When DC power supply is used, use the specified power adapter; otherwise, the device may

be damaged.

Connecting Cables

Requirements for making a network cable:

● Cut the cable of proper length based on the distance between the AP and the PSE device, peel the insulation on

both ends of the network cable, and crimp the wires to RJ45 connectors.

● Connect RT45 connectors to the network cable tester to test cable connectivity. The following shows the pin

assignment.

● The service network cable cannot be connected to the console port. Otherwise, the AP6010DN may be damaged

when using PoE power supply.

● Before connecting the cable to the AP, coil the cable around the wall-mounting bracket first. This prevents the cable

from being bent.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect a PC to the uplink port of the AP with a network cable. Figure 1-5 shows the location of the AP's uplink

port.

Figure 1-1 Location of the AP's uplink port

Step 2 Configure a static IP address for the PC. The IP address must be on the network segment 192.168.0.1/24

(The IP address should not be same as the AP's default IP address 192.168.0.1.) and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0.

After the configuration is complete, run the ping 192.168.0.1 command on the PC to check whether the PC

can be pinged. If the ping operation succeeds, the connection is set up successfully. If the ping operation fails,

The connection fails to be set up. Check whether the network cable works properly.

Step 3 Access the command line window on the PC. For example, if the PC runs Windows XP, choose Start > Run

And enter cmd in the displayed dialog box.

AP Local Configuration

WLAN services parameters of an AP are configured on the AC that is connected To the AP, and then delivered to the AP.

The following parameters are configured on the AP through Telnet or the console port.

1. Configuring the AP Access Mode

This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.

2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP

This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.

3. Configuring WDS

This section describes how to configure WDS parameters on an AP.

1 Configuring the AP Access Mode

This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.

● AP Access Modes

After an AP starts, going online management module determines the mode in which the AP goes online. Users are

unaware of the AP access mode. In the AP startup phase, the AP obtains the its IP address, the gateway IP address,

and the AC IP address based on the access mode. After obtaining all the information, the AP sets up a Control And

Provisioning of Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP) link with the AC. The process is as follows:

1. The AP reads the configuration file and determines the mode to go online.

2. If the DHCP mode is used, the AP starts the DHCP process.

3. If the static mode is used, the AP starts the AC discovery process based on the static configuration, and

establishes a control tunnel with the discovered AC.

4. If the PPPoE mode is used, the AP initiates the PPPoE dial-up process. After obtaining the management IP

address and gateway address, the AP uses the statically configured AC IP address to discover the AC, and

establishes a control tunnel with the AC.

NOTE

By default, AP's go online in DHCP mode.

● Configuring the Mode for an AP to Go Online

● Configuring the AP to go online in DHCP mode

1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC.
