Chapter 3      Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Assigning Basic Settings
IP Address—Use this setting to assign or change the access point’s IP address. If DHCP is enabled 
for your network, leave this field blank. 
Note
If the access point’s IP address changes while you are configuring the access point using the 
web-browser interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the 
access point. If you lose your connection, reconnect to the access point using its new IP address. 
Follow the steps in the 
you need to start over.
IP Subnet Mask—Enter the IP subnet mask provided by your network administrator so the IP 
address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank. 
Default Gateway—Enter the default gateway IP address provided by your network administrator. 
If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.
Web Server—Choose the type of HTTP protocol used by your web browser to access the access 
point.
Standard (HTTP)—Uses encrypted traffic to transfer data. 
Secure (HTTPS)—Uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted traffic to transfer data.
SNMP Community—If your network is using SNMP, enter the SNMP Community name provided 
by your network administrator and select the attributes of the SNMP data (also provided by your 
network administrator). 
Role in Radio Network—Click on the button that describes the role of the access point on your 
network. Select Access Point (Root) if your access point is connected to the wired LAN. Select 
Repeater (Non-Root) if it is not connected to the wired LAN.
Optimize Radio Network for—Use this setting to select either preconcerted settings for the access 
point radio or customized settings for the access point radio.
Throughput—Maximizes the data volume handled by the access point but might reduce its 
range.
Range—Maximizes the access point’s range but might reduce throughput.
Custom—The access point uses settings you enter on the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11b 
Settings page. Clicking Custom takes you to the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11b Settings 
page.
Aironet Extensions—Enable this setting if there are only Cisco Aironet devices on your wireless 
LAN.
Step 7
Click Apply to save your settings. If you changed the IP address, you lose your connection to the access 
point. Browse to the new IP address to reconnect to the access point.
Your access point is now running but probably requires additional configuring to conform to your 
network’s operational and security requirements. Consult the chapters in this manual for the information 
you need to complete the configuration. 
Note
You can restore the access point to its factory defaults by unplugging the power jack and 
plugging it back in while holding the Mode button down until the Ethernet LED turns an amber 
color (approximately 2 to 3 seconds).
