Getting Started

This chapter provides an introduction to the web-based access point

configuration utility, and includes these topics:

•Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

•Using the Access Point Setup Wizard

•Getting Started

•Window Navigation

Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

This section describes system requirements and how to navigate the web-based

configuration utility.

Supported Browsers

•Internet Explorer 7.0 or later

•Chrome 5.0 or later

•Firefox 3.0 or later

•Safari 3.0 or later

Browser Restrictions

•If you are using Internet Explorer 6, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address

to access the WAP device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name

System) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address,

and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6

address.

•When using Internet Explorer 8, you can configure security settings from

Internet Explorer. Click Tools > Internet Options and then select the

Security tab. Select Local Intranet and click Sites. Click Advanced and

Getting Started

Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

then click Add. Add the intranet address of the WAP device (http://<ip-

address>) to the local intranet zone. The IP address can also be specified

as the subnet IP address, so that all addresses in the subnet are added to

the local intranet zone.

•If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the

IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 local address to access the WAP

device from your browser.

Launching the Web-based Configuration Utility

To open the web-based configuration utility:

STEP 1 Open a Web browser.

STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the WAP device that you are configuring in the address bar

on the browser, and then press Enter. The Login page opens.

•To find your IP address, you can use the Cisco FindIT Network Discovery

Utility. This tool enables you to automatically discover all supported Cisco

Small Business devices in the same local network segment as your

computer. For more information, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.

•For further instructions on how to locate the IP address of your WAP device,

see the Quick Start Guide. See Where to Go From Here for document

locations.

STEP 3 Enter the user name and password. The factory default user name is cisco and the

default password is cisco.

STEP 4 Click Login. The Access Point Startup Wizard page opens.

If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user name (cisco) and the

default password (cisco) or your password has expired, the Change Admin

Password page opens. Enter the new password and confirm it, click Apply, and

then click Close. The new password is saved. Then, enter the user name cisco and

the new password on the Login page.

See Using the Access Point Setup Wizard, page 10 for instructions on using the

wizard.

Getting Started

Using the Access Point Setup Wizard

Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE 10

Logging Out

By default, the web-based configuration utility logs out after 10 minutes of

inactivity. See HTTP/HTTPS Service for instructions on changing the default

timeout period.

To logout, click Logout in the top right corner of the web-based configuration

utility.

Using the Access Point Setup Wizard

The first time that you log into the WAP device (or after it has been reset to the

factory default settings), the Access Point Startup Wizard displays to help you

perform initial configurations. Follow these steps to complete the wizard:

NOTE If you click Cancel to bypass the Wizard, the Change Password page displays. You

can then change the default password for logging in. For all other settings, the

factory default configuration will apply.

STEP 1 Click Next on the Welcome page of the Wizard. The Configure Device - IP

Address window displays.

STEP 2 Click Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) if you want the WAP device to receive an IP

address from a DHCP server. Or select Static IP Address to configure IP Address

manually. For a description of these fields, see LAN Settings, page 56.

STEP 3 Click Next. The Configure Device - Set System Date and Time window displays.

STEP 4 Select your time zone, and then set the system time manually or set up the WAP

device to get its time from an NTP server. For a description of these options, see

Time Settings, page 31.

STEP 5 Click Next. The Enable Security - Set Password window displays.

STEP 6 Enter a New Password and enter it again in the Confirm Password text box. For

more information about passwords, see User Accounts, page 29.

NOTE You can click the Password Complexity check box if you wish to

disable the password security rules. However, it is strongly recommend to

keep the password security rules enabled.

STEP 7 Click Next. The Enable Security - Name Your Wireless Network window

displays.
