Assigned by If DHCP disabled, the access makes several
DHCP
attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP
server. If it does not receive an address, it
assigns itself an IP address of 10.0.0.1 for 5
minutes and becomes a mini-DHCP server.
During this 5 minute window, you can browse
to the default IP address and configure a static
address. If after 5 minutes the access point is
not reconfigured, it discards the IP address and
sends DHCP request indefinitely.

78-14830-04

Note

If you miss the five-minute window for browsing to the access point
at 10.0.0.1, you can power-cycle the access point to repeat the
process.

Note

In the capacity of a mini-DHCP server, the access point provides up
to 20 IP addresses between 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.30 to
Ethernet-capable PC connected to its Ethernet port and wireless
client devices configured with no SSID or tsunami as the SSID, and
with all security settings disabled. The mini-DHCP server feature is
disabled automatically when you assign a static IP address to the
access point.

Caution

When the access point is connected to your LAN, the access
point mini-DHCP server provides an IP address to any DHCP
requests it receives.

Default SSID and Radio Behavior
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA2 and earlier, the access point radio is enabled
by default and the default SSID is tsunami.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, the access point radio is disabled by default,
and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radio
before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices.
These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly
installed access points.

Introduction to the Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point is a wireless LAN transceiver
that serves as the center point of a stand alone wireless network or as the
connection point between wireless and wired networks. Designed for the
enterprise office environment, the access point is IEEE 802.11b- or
g-compliant, depending on the radio installed, and operates in the 2.4-GHz
frequency band.
The access point uses the Cisco IOS operating system. Cisco IOS software is
a feature-rich, network systems software that provides a common IP fabric,
functionality, and command-line interface (CLI) across the entire network.
This guide describes how to set up the access point using its graphical user
interface (GUI) through your web browser. You can also set up and configure
the access point through its CLI within a Telnet session. For detailed
information about the CLI, see the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point
Installation and Configuration Guide.

Connecting the Access Point to Your Network
The following sections describe the various methods you can use to connect
the access point to your network.

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power
Source
Follow these steps to connect the access point to the Ethernet LAN when you
have an inline power source:
1.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled
Ethernet on the access point. Connect the other end of the cable to one
of the following:
a. A switch with inline power, such as a Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL
switch.
b. An inline power switch panel, such as a Cisco Catalyst Inline Power
Patch Panel.
c. The end of a Cisco Aironet power injector labeled To AP/Bridge.
Connect the other end labeled To Network to the 10/100 Ethernet
LAN.

14

78-14830-04

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with Local Power
Follow these steps to connect the access point to an Ethernet LAN when you
have a local power source:
1.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled
Ethernet on the access point.

2.

Connect the power pack’s power output connector to the 48 VDC power
port labeled 48 VDC on the access point.

3.

Plug the other end of the power pack into an approved 100 to 250 VAC
outlet.

Powering Up the Access Point
When power is applied to the access point, it begins a routine power-up
sequence that you can monitor by observing the three LEDs on top of the
access point. All three LEDs on the top of the access point (Infrastructure,
Status, and Radio) slowly blink amber, red, and green in sequence; the
sequence takes a couple of minutes to complete.

Note

See the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Installation and
Configuration Guide for a detailed description of the LED displays.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

15

When the sequence is complete, you are ready to associate an IP address with
the access point and perform an initial configuration. The easiest way to
initially configure your access point is by browsing to its Express Setup page.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
To browse to the access point’s Express Setup page, you must obtain or assign
the access point’s IP address using one of the following methods:


Use the default IP address (10.0.0.1) (inside the 5 minute time window
for release 12.3(4) and later) the first time you power up and configure
the access point. To do this, see the “Connecting to the Access Point
Locally” section on page 17.



Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address.
You can obtain the IP address by one of the following methods:
– Provide your organization’s network administrator with your access
point’s Media Access Control (MAC) address. Your network
administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address
to identify the IP address.
– Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned
address. IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems:
Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XT.

16

78-14830-04

Note

IPSU is available for downloading at the Software Center
on Cisco.com.

Connecting to the Access Point Locally
If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the
access point to a wired LAN), you can connect to it wirelessly using a
wireless client adapter or through its Ethernet port using a Category 5
Ethernet cable.
If the access point is not connected to a DHCP server or cannot obtain an IP
address, it defaults to the IP address of 10.0.0.1. You can browse to the access
point using this IP address. If you are running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA
and later and miss the 5-minute time window, reboot the access point and try
again.
Follow these steps to connect to the access point locally:
1.

To configure the access point through its Ethernet port, connect your PC
to the access point using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. Make sure the PC
you intend to use is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, or
manually assign it an IP address of 10.0.0.2 (or an address in the same
subnet).

2.

Power up the access point.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

17

3.

Follow the steps in the “Configuring the Access Point” section on
page 18.

4.

After configuring the access point, remove the Ethernet cable from your
PC and connect the access point to your wired LAN.

Note

You may lose connectivity when you connect your PC to the
wired LAN because the IP address assigned to the PC remains
until you either manually assign a new address or reboot.

Configuring the Access Point
After you have determined or assigned the access point’s IP address, you can
browse to the access point’s Express Setup page and perform an initial
configuration. Follow these steps.
1.

Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer
(version 5.x or later) or Netscape Navigator (version 4.x).

2.

Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press
Enter. An Enter Network Password screen appears.

78-14830-04

Configuring Security Settings
Cisco IOS Release 12.2 (15)JA and later releases include an Express Security
page. After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure
security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it
is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical
boundaries of your work site.
Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use
the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four
security types to them. The following illustration shows the Express Security
page for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

23

24

78-14830-04

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point

25

The following table briefly describes the four security settings you can assign
to an SSID using the Express Security page. In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA
or later, you must assign an SSID.
Security Type

Description

No Security

The least secure option. Use this option only for SSIDs
used in a public space and assign it to a VLAN that
restricts access to your network.

Static WEP
Key

More secure than no security. However, static WEP keys
are vulnerable to attack.

EAP
Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP address
Authentication and shared secret for an authentication server on your
network (server authentication port 1645). You do not
need to enter a WEP key.
WPA

26

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to
users authenticated against a database through the
services of an authentication server, then encrypts their IP
traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP.
As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address
and shared secret for an authentication server on your
network (server authentication port 1645).

78-14830-04

Refer to the Aironet 11*00 Series Access Points, Cisco IOS Release xx.x(x)
