Getting StartedConnecting the Access Point to a PC1Administration PC IP AddressWe recommend that if you are starting from the default configuration or this is thefirst time the device will be configured that you configure the device before youdeploy it in the network by using the access point default static IP address(192.168.10.10). To do so, the PC IP address must be on the same subnet as theaccess point.Verify that your PC IP address is set to an address on the same subnet as theaccess point:STEP 1STEP 2STEP 3STEP 4STEP 5From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel.On the Control Panel dialog box, click Network.In the Network dialog box select TCP/IP for your PC Ethernet card, then clickProperties.In the IP Address window, click Specify an IP address.In the IP Address field, enter an IP address that is in the same subnet as the accesspoint IP address. (The default access point IP address is 192.168.10.10. Thedefault subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) For example, you can set the:PC IP address to 192.168.10.250PC IP subnet mask to 255.255.255.0STEP 6 In the Subnet Mask field, type 255.255.255.0.STEP 7STEP 8Click OK.If you are prompted to restart your PC, click Yes.Connecting the Access Point to a PCTo configure the access point, you can connect the access point directly to anadministration PC or through the network to an administration PC.If you are not using CCA to configure the access point, we recommend that you configurethe device before deploying it in the network by following the instructions in the “Connectthe Access Point to an Administration PC” section. Otherwise, follow the instructions inthe “Connecting the Access Point to the PC through a Network Connection”Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 8
