6. Fasten the release key screw with a tamper-resistant T10 torx screwdriver to lock the AP to the bracket.
Power the Access Point On
You can power the access point (AP) on by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE switch or injector
and the other end into the Ethernet/PoE port on the AP. Ensure the PoE source you are using is turned on.
As an alternative to PoE, you can insert a compatible power adaptor plug into an AC power outlet and the other
end into the power input port on the AP.
Note: If you are not using PoE, ensure that you use only an AC power adaptor supported by the AP.
Using the C-250 with Power Adapter
To power up the device with power adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the power cable into the DC power receptacle at the rear of the device.
2. Plug the other end of the power cable into an 110V~240V 50/60 Hz AC power source.
3. Wait until the device is ready. Refer to the LED status table.
Connect the Access Point to the Network
To connect the access point (AP) to the network, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that a DHCP server is available on the network to enable network configuration of the AP.
2. Add the DNS entry wifi-security-server on all DNS servers. This entry must point to the IP address of the
server.
3. Ensure that DHCP is running on the subnet to which the AP is connected.
4. Check the LEDs on the AP to ensure that it is connected to the server.
5. Log on to the server using ssh and run the
get sensor list
command.
You will see a list of all Arista devices that are recognized by the server. Single Sign-On users can go to the
Monitor tab in CloudVision WiFi and check whether the device is visible under the Monitor tab.
The AP is connected and operational.
