Quick Start Guide: Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point
–
An IEEE 802.3af compliant Cisco inline power switch
–
A Cisco 1250 series power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4)
Note
Some older switches and patch panels might not provide enough
power to operate the access point. At power-up, if the access point
is unable to detect sufficient power, the access point deactivates both
radios to prevent an over-current condition, and the Status LED
displays a low power error (cycles blue, green, red, and off).
When power is applied to the access point, it begins a routine power-up
sequence that you can monitor by observing the three LEDs on top of the
access point. When all three LEDs turn green to indicate the starting of the
IOS operating system, the Status LED blinks green signifying that IOS is
operational. When in an operational status, the Ethernet LED is continuously
green when no traffic is being passed and dark when traffic is being passed.
The sequence takes about 1 minute to complete. Refer to the
“Checking the
Access Point LEDs” section on page 28
for LED descriptions.
When the sequence is complete, you can obtain the access point’s IP address
and perform an initial configuration. Refer to the
“Obtaining and Assigning
an IP Address” section on page 18
for instructions on assigning basic settings
to the access point.
