Chapter 3 Basic Configuration

Using the IP Setup Utility

Step 6 Type or paste the access point’s IP address in the browser’s location or address field. (If you are using Netscape, the field is labeled Netsite or Location; if you are using Microsoft Explorer, the field is labeled Address.)

Step 7 Press Enter. The access point’s home page appears.

Setting the Access Point’s IP Address and SSID

If your access point does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, or if you want to change the default IP address, you can use IPSU to assign an IP address. You can set the access point’s SSID at the same time.

Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the access point must have an IP address of its own.

Note IPSU can change the access point’s IP address and SSID only from their default settings. After the IP address and SSID have been changed, IPSU cannot change them again. (For additional information see Using an Internet Browser or Using a Terminal Emulator sections.)

Follow these steps to assign an IP address and an SSID to the access point:

Step 1 Double-click the IP Setup icon on your computer desktop. (If IPSU is not installed on your computer, follow the steps in the “Obtaining and Installing IPSU” section on page 3-3to install it.)

Step 2 When the utility window opens, make sure Set Parameters is selected in the Function box.

Step 3 Type the access point’s MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The access point’s MAC address is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your access point’s MAC address might look like the following example:

004096xxxxxx

Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive.

Step 4 Type the IP address you want to assign to the access point in the IP Address field.

Step 5 Type the SSID you want to assign to the access point in the SSID field.

Note You cannot set the SSID without also setting the IP address. You can set the IP address without setting the SSID, however.

Step 6 Click Set Parameters.

Step 7 To test the IP address, open an Internet browser.

340, 350 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a prominent player in the realm of networking and communications technology. Among its comprehensive product lineup, the Cisco 350 and 340 series of switches stand out as reliable solutions for businesses looking to enhance their network performance.

The Cisco 350 series, often referred to for its accessibility and performance, is designed for small to medium-sized enterprises. It offers a versatile set of features that cater to various networking needs. Key characteristics include a range of models supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, which allow for high-speed connectivity. The series also supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities, enabling devices such as IP phones and wireless access points to receive power directly through the network connection. This not only simplifies deployment but also minimizes the need for additional power supplies.

Cisco's Intelligent Prosumer Networking features are incorporated into the 350 series, enabling enhanced security and management capabilities. The switches provide Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality for routing and switching, allowing users to segment their networks efficiently and reduce broadcast traffic. Additionally, Quality of Service (QoS) features prioritize critical applications, ensuring a smooth user experience without interruptions.

On the other side, the Cisco 340 series builds on similar performance foundations but targets environments requiring even more robust capabilities. It includes advanced features such as StackWise technology, which provides scalability and redundancy. This allows multiple switches to operate as a single unit, improving network resilience and simplifying management.

Both the 350 and 340 series incorporate Cisco's Smart Group technology, facilitating streamlined configuration and easier monitoring of network performance. Furthermore, with Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture) capabilities, these switches can support automation and insights through analytics, enabling IT teams to respond rapidly to network demands.

In terms of security, both series are equipped with advanced features that prevent unauthorized access and support secure management protocols. They include features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and storm control, further protecting network integrity.

Overall, whether you opt for the Cisco 350 or 340 series, you will benefit from a robust set of features designed for modern networking challenges, along with the innovation and reliability that Cisco Systems is known for. These switches provide scalable, efficient, and secure solutions to support business growth and operational efficiency.
