3.1.2 Connecting to the Access Point Using the LAN Port
To initially connect to the access point using the access point's LAN port:
1. The LAN (or GE1/POE) port default is set to DHCP. Connect the access point's
GE1/POE port to an Ethernet segment with access to a DHCP server. The access
point will automatically receive an IP address.
2. To view the IP address, connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the access
point and the other end to the serial port of a computer running HyperTerminal or
similar emulation program
•
Configure the following settings:
•
Baud Rate - 115200
•
Data Bits - 8
•
Stop Bits - 1
•
No Parity
•
No Flow Control
3. Press <ESC> or <Enter> to access the access point CLI.
4. Enter the default username of "admin" and the default password of "motorola."
5. Since this is the first time you are logging into the access point, you will be
prompted to enter a new password and set the county code.
6. At the CLI prompt (admin>), type "summary."
7. The access point's LAN IP address will be displayed.
8. Connect a laptop on the same Ethernet segment as the access point (e.g. set the
laptop for DHCP so it receives an IP address from the same DHCP server)
NOTE
AP 7181 units configured for deployment in the US will not
prompt the user for a country code.
