Getting Started

This chapter provides an introduction to the Wireless Access Point (WAP) devices

web-based 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 Domain Name System

(DNS) 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. Select Tools > Internet Options and then select the

Security tab. Select Local Intranet and select Sites. Select Advanced and

then select 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 configuration utility:

STEP 1 Open a web browser.

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, go to cisco.com and enter www.cisco.com/

go/findit.

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

see the WAP device Quick Start Guide.

STEP 2 Enter the user name and password. The factory default user name is cisco and the

default password is cisco.

STEP 3 Click Log In. The Access Point Setup 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 for instructions on using the wizard.
