Default Radio Settings
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA, access point radios are disabled and no default SSID is
assigned. This was done in order to prevent unauthorized users to access a customer’s wireless network
through an access point having a default SSID and no security settings. You must create an SSID before
you can enable the access point radio interfaces.
See Chapter 6, “Configuring Radio Settings” for additional information.
Assigning Basic Settings

Express Setup page and perform an initial configuration:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 on Windows 98, 2000, XP platforms, and with Netscape version
7.0 on Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Solaris platforms.
Step2 Enter the wireless device’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network
Password screen appears.
Step3 Press Tab to bypass the Username field and advance to the Password field.
Step4 Enter the case-sensitive password Cisco and press Enter. The Summary Status page appears, as shown
