Step 2 Open a terminal emulator.

Step 3 Enter these settings for the connection:

•Bits per second (baud rate): 9600

•Data bits: 8

•Parity: No parity

•Stop bits: 1

•Flow control: Xon/Xoff

Step 4 Press = to display the home page of the access point. If the access point is new and its factory configuration has not been changed, the Express Setup page appears; if the access point has been configured, the Summary Status page appears.

Step 5 Press n to select System Name. Type a system name for the access point and press Enter. A descriptive system name makes it easy to identify the access point on your network.

Step 6 Press t and then press Enter to select Terminal Type. Press t and then press Enter to select teletype display on the console interface. Press a and then press Enter to select ANSI display on the console interface.

Step 7 Press pr and then press Enter to select Config Server Protocol. Press n to select none; press b to select BOOTP; press d to select DHCP. Press Enter after you make your selection.

Step 8 Press ad and then press Enter to select IP Address. Enter an IP address for the access point. If DHCP is not enabled for your network, the IP address you enter is the access point’s static IP address. If DHCP is enabled, the address you enter provides the IP address only when no DHCP server responds with an IP address for the access point.

Step 9 Press su and then press Enter to select IP Subnet Mask. Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the subnetwork so the access point’s IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is not enabled, the subnet you enter is the static subnet mask. If DHCP is enabled, your entry provides the subnet mask only when no DHCP server responds to the access point’s DHCP request.

Step 10 Press g and then press Enter to select Default Gateway. Enter the IP address of your default internet gateway. The entry 255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway.

Step 11 Press ra and then press Enter to select Radio Service Set ID (SSID). Enter an SSID for the access point. The SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry from two to 32 characters long.

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.
