Possible Cause of Failure

Devices Can’t Connect using Wi-Fi

•Complete the Setup Wizard. The Wi-Fi radio on the device is turned off by default, and the Setup Wizard activates it. For users who do not wish to use the Setup Wizard, log into the device using a Category 5e Ethernet cable, and activate the Wi-Fi radio manually. See the Administration Guide for details on activating the Wi-Fi radio.

No Power

•Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.

•Make sure your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that you have a link. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation” on page 6.

•Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a switchable outlet.

Bad Ethernet Connection

•Check the state of the indicator lights. See “Verifying the Hardware Installation” on page 6.

•Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your devices. Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP device, and routers, any switches, and your computer.

•Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The access point and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.

Bad Image

After a new firmware installation, if the Power light is flashing quickly, contact system support; see “Where to Go From Here” on page 11.

Incorrect IP Address

The most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address. The Web browser may be pointed to the wrong IP address, or your computer may be configured with an IP address that is not in the same subnet as the device.
