1Getting StartedWireless Client RequirementsSTEP 3If your network uses VLANs, you might need to configure the management VLANID or untagged VLAN ID on the access point for it to work with your network.For information about how to configure VLAN information, see LAN Settings, page40.STEP 4If your network uses Dynamic WEP port security for network access control, youmust configure the 802.1X supplicant information on the access point. Forinformation about how to configure the 802.1X user name and password, seeConfiguring 802.1X Authentication, page 43.Access Point Management PageClick System Information to view the device information. For more information, seeDevice Information, page 27.As new versions of the Access Point software become available, you can upgradethe software on your devices to take advantage of new features andenhancements. For more information, see Software Upgrade, page 124.For information on how to backup and restore the configuration, go to AccessPoint Configuration, page 120.Wireless Configuration PageFor information about the wireless radio settings, see Configuring Wireless RadioSettings, page 160.To configure the SSID, Guest Access, and Security Configuration, see ModifyingVirtual Access Point Settings, page 55.Wireless Client RequirementsThe access point provides wireless access to any client with a properlyconfigured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode in which the access point isrunning. The access point supports multiple client operating systems. Clients canbe laptop or desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any otherhand-held, portable or stationary device equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter andsupporting drivers.21 Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
Getting StartedWireless Client Requirements1To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardwaredescribed in Table 2.Table 2Requirements for Wireless ClientsRequired ComponentWi-Fi Client AdapterWireless ClientSoftwareClient SecuritySettingsDescriptionPortable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supportsone or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which youplan to run the access point. (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,802.11g, and 802.11n modes are supported.)Client software, such as Microsoft WindowsSupplicant, configured to associate with the accesspoint.Security should be disabled on the client used to doinitial configuration of the access point.If the Security mode on the access point is set toanything other than plain text, wireless clients musthave a profile set to the same authentication modeused by the access point and provide a valid usernameand password, certificate, or user identity required bythe authentication server. Security modes are StaticWEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK.For information about configuring security on theaccess point, see Configuring the WirelessDistribution System, page 91.Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 22
