Chapter 3 - Initial Configuration
3.2.3 Initial Configuration Steps
Logging In – Enter admin for the user name. The default password is null, so just
press [Enter] at the password prompt. The CLI prompt appears displaying
Enterprise AP#.
Setting the Country Code – You must use the CLI to set the country code.
Setting the country code restricts operation of the AP to the radio channels and
transmit power levels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country.
Type exit to leave configuration mode. Then type country? to display the list of
countries. Select the code for your country, and enter the country command
again, following by your country code (e.g., tw for Taiwan).
Setting the IP Address – By default, the AP is configured to obtain IP address
settings from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, the IP address
defaults to 192.168.1.1, which may not be compatible with your network. You will
therefore have to use the command line interface (CLI) to assign an IP address
that is compatible with your network.
Type configure to enter configuration mode, then type interface ethernet to
access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.
First type no ip dhcp to disable DHCP client mode. Then type ip address and the
ip-address netmask gateway, where ip-address is the AP’s IP address, netmask is
the network mask for the network, and gateway is the default gateway router.
Check with your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible
with your network.
