Important Keep in mind that KickStart (and the other Gateway administration tools) recognizes and configures only Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs. KickStart will not find or configure other kinds of access points or other devices.

Run Kickstart only in the subnet of the “Internal” network (SSID). Do not run Kickstart on the guest subnetwork.

Kickstart will find only those access points that have IP addresses. IP addresses are dynamically assigned to APs if you have a DHCP server running on the network. Keep in mind that if you deploy the AP on a network with no DHCP server, the default static IP address (192.168.1.1) will be used.

Use caution with non-DHCP enabled networks: Do not deploy more than one new AP on a non-DHCP network unless you change the IP address list in the first DHCP server, because they will use the same default static IP addresses and conflict with each other. (For more information, see “Understanding dynamic and static IP addressing” on page 12 and “How does the access point obtain an IP address at startup?” on page 12.)

Run the KickStart CD on a laptop or computer that is connected to the same network as your access points and use it to step through the discovery process.
