power up sequence is complete, the LED displays a light green color to
indicate that it is ready for operation. When a client associates to the access
point, the status LED changes to blue. The LED displays amber to indicate a
problem, such as when the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is
supplying sufficient power. See the “Configuring Power” section on page 17.
Obtaining an IP Address
Your access point needs an IP address to operate. The access point is no
longer shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address from your
network’s DHCP server when you connect the access point to your network.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access point continues to
request an IP address until you assign it one. Therefore, you must configure
the IP address by opening the command line interface (CLI) from a terminal
session established through the access point’s console port. See the
“Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI” section on page 18.
You must know your access point’s IP address before you can use the
web-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address
from your network’s DHCP server, you or your network administrator can
find it by querying the DHCP server using the access point’s MAC address.
You can also find the access point’s IP address using Cisco’s IP Setup Utility
You can download IPSU from Cisco.com.
