Step 6 Use the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LED table (Table 1 on page 1-5) to understand the LEDs located on the top panel of the access point.

Note The process of connecting the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point should only take 1 to 2 minutes. Your unit may require a software image download. If so, once the connection is made, the Status LED on the top of the unit will flash blue. The Status LED continues flashing until download is complete.

When the download is complete, your access point will restart. Once connected to the controller, the Status LED will display a solid blue or purple.

Step 7 If your IT administrator has not pre-provisioned the 600 Series Office Extend AP with the IP address of the Primary Wireless LAN Controller, please follow the steps in the procedure “Configuring the Wireless LAN Controller IP Address on a Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point” section on page 1-8, to configure this address.

Note You do not need to configure any SSIDs for your 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point to connect to your company network. The access point receives the company SSID when it connects to the company network by way of the Internet. If you have problems connecting to your company network, contact your IT administrator. You can configure your local SSID Wireless LAN for other devices. See “Configuring Radio Channels on a Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point” section on page 1-10for more information.
