Installing the WBPN Wireless-N Bridge for

Phone Adapters

This chapter describes how to install and initially configure your WBPN Wireless-N

Bridge for Phone Adapters. It contains the following sections:

•Before You Begin, page 5

•Getting to Know the WBPN, page 6

•Connecting the WBPN Using WPS, page 8

•Connecting the WBPN Using a PC, page 9

•Installing the WBPN Into the SPA Phone Stand, page 16

Before You Begin

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment

and information:

•Power Supply for your Small Business IP Phone (not included)

•PC to use the web-based system management tools to configure the WBPN

(required if you are not using Wi-Fi Protected Setup). The web-based

configuration manager is supported on Microsoft Internet Explorer (version

8 or higher) and Mozilla Firefox (version 3.6.3 and higher).

Using the WBPN With the Cisco SPA525G/525G2

You can use the WBPN with the Cisco SPA525G/525G2 IP phone to improve the

wireless performance of the phone. You must first disable the internal Wireless-G

controller on the Cisco SPA525G in order to use the WBPN as your wireless

controller. To disable the phone’s internal wireless:

Connecting the WBPN Using WPS

Cisco WBPN User Guide 8

Connecting the WBPN Using WPS

If your wireless device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can connect

the WBPN to the phone and use WPS to connect the phone your network. If you do

not use WPS, you must connect the WBPN to a PC and use a web browser to

configure it. See the “Connecting the WBPN Using a PC” section on page 9.

STEP 1 If the IP phone power adapter is connected to your IP phone, disconnect it.

STEP 2 Unplug the IP phone power adapter from the power source.

STEP 3 Connect the WBPN power cable to the power port on the IP phone (labeled #1 in

the “Phone Connections” graphic).

STEP 4 Connect the network cable from the WBPN to the Ethernet port on the IP phone

(labeled #2 in the “Phone Connections” graphic).

STEP 5 Connect the IP phone power adapter to the power port on the WBPN (labeled #1

in the “WBPN Connections” graphic).

STEP 6 (Optional) Place the WBPN inside the hollow desktop phone stand. See “Installing

the WBPN Into the SPA Phone Stand” section on page 16.

STEP 7 Plug the IP phone power adapter into the power source.

Using the WPS Push Button Method

STEP 1 After all connections are made and devices are powered on, press the WPS

button on your wireless device.

STEP 2 Press the WPS button on the WBPN. The WPS LED on the WBPN flashes green

during the discovery period.

STEP 3 After the WBPN establishes a connection to the wireless device, the WPS LED

displays solid green, and the WLAN LED will display either solid green or flashing

green, depending on network activity.

Using the WPS PIN Method

STEP 1 Connect the WBPN and power on all devices as previously described.

STEP 2 On the bottom of the WBPN unit, locate the label and make note of the PIN. The PIN

is a unique numeric code printed on the label.

STEP 3 Connect to your wireless device’s web interface using a web browser. Your

computer must be connected to your wireless network.

STEP 4 In your router or device’s WPS menu, enter the WBPN PIN into the field that allows

you to set up wireless devices using a PIN.

STEP 5 Save your changes. The device should automatically connect to the WBPN. After

the WBPN establishes a connection to the wireless device, the WPS LED displays

solid green, and the WLAN LED will display either solid green or flashing green,

depending on network activity.

Connecting the WBPN Using a PC

STEP 1 Connect the IP phone power adapter to the WBPN power adapter port (labeled

#1 in the “WBPN Connections” graphic).

STEP 2 Connect the WBPN network cable (labeled #3 in the “WBPN Connections”

graphic) to the Ethernet port on your PC.

STEP 3 Set your PC’s IP address to a static IP address on the same subnet as the WBPN.

See Setting a Static IP Address on Your PC.

STEP 4 Open your web browser and enter the default IP address for the WBPN:

192.168.1.254.

STEP 5 Enter the default username (cisco) and password (cisco). You should change the

default username and password as soon as possible using the Setup Wizard or by

choosing Administration > Change Password in the management interface.

STEP 6 Follow the steps in the Setup Wizard to configure the WBPN. See the following

sections for more information.

Cisco WBPN User Guide 10

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through configuration of the WBPN. See the

following sections for more information.

Choosing a Username and Password

You must enter a new username and password. The default username and

password (cisco) is not allowed. Passwords must be a minimum of one character

and a maximum of 30 characters.

Configuring Local Area Network Settings

Choose Automatic (DHCP) if you want your network router to assign an IP address

to the WBPN when it is connected to the network. This IP address can change if

the device is disconnected and connected again.

Choose Static IP if you want the WBPN to always have the same IP address on the

network. Enter the IP address you want to assign to the WBPN, the subnet mask,

and the default gateway (the IP address of your network router).

TIP If you choose DHCP or you change the IP address to an address that is different

from the default IP address, you will need to use that new address if you want to

connect your PC to the device later for additional configuration.

Configuring the Wireless Connection

Choose the type of wireless configuration method:

Automatically Using WPS

If your wireless device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can choose

this option to connect the phone your wireless network. Then choose the type of

WPS configuration:

•PIN Number—Click Start PIN to begin WPS configuration via the PIN

number. After clicking Start PIN, on your wireless device, go to the WPS

configuration menu and enter the PIN of the WBPN. (The WBPN PIN is

displayed above the Start PIN button on the Wireless WPS window.) You

must enter the WBPN PIN number in your wireless device’s WPS

configuration menu within two minutes of clicking the Start PIN button.

•Push Button Configuration—Click Start PBC to begin WPS configuration via

push button. After clicking PBC, within two minutes, click the WPS push
