Connecting Locally to the Ethernet Port

Connecting Locally to the Ethernet Port

If you need to configure the access point/bridge locally (without connecting to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to the power injector’s Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable.

Note You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the power injector’s Ethernet port; you can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

Your PC and the access point/bridge must be configured with compatible IP addresses and subnet masks to be able to communicate on the Ethernet interface:

•If the access point/bridge is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)JA or earlier and is configured with default values, you must manually assign your PC an IP address from 10.0.0.31 to 10.0.0.40.

•If the access point/bridge is running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA2 or later and is configured with default values, you must manually assign a temporary static IP address to the access point/bridge and manally configure your PC with a compatible IP address and subnet mask.

For additonal information on configuring the access point/bridge, refer to the “Configuring the Access Point/Bridge for the First Time” section on page 5-1.
