Chapter4 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time

Connecting to the 1130 Series Access Point Locally

Note When you connect your PC to the access point or reconnect your PC to the wired LAN, you might need

to release and renew the IP address on the PC. On most PCs, you can perform a release and renew by

rebooting your PC or by entering ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew commands in a command

prompt window. Consult your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions.

Connecting to the 1130 Series Access Point Locally

If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the a ccess point to a wired LAN),

you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ- 45 serial cable. Follow these steps to open

the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:

Step1 Open the access point cover.

Step2 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the access point and

to the COM port on a computer. The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is

AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order a serial cable.

Step3 Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point. Use the following settings for the

terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

Note If xon/xoff flow control does not work, use no flow control.

Step4 When connected, press enter or type en to access the command prompt. Pressing enter takes you to the

user exec mode. entering en prompts you for a password, then takes you to the privileged exec mode.

The default password is Cisco and is case-sensitive.
