1Getting StartedVerifying the InstallationVerifying the InstallationMake sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associating with wirelessclients on the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network,you can enable more security and fine-tune the access point by modifying theadvanced configuration features.STEP 1Connect the access point to the LAN.If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from yourcomputer to the access point, do the following:a. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.b. Mount the access point in the desired location.c. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.d. Power on the access point.e. Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wirelesscard.If you configured the access point and an administrator PC by connecting both toa network hub or switch, your access point is already connected to the LAN. Thenext step is to test some wireless clients.STEP 2Test the access point by trying to detect it and associate with it from a wirelessclient. For information about requirements for the client devices, see WirelessClient Requirements, page 21.NOTE The access point is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configurationchanges. If more than one administrator is logged onto the ConfigurationUtility and is making changes to the configuration, there is no guarantee thatall configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.23 Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
Getting StartedConfiguring Security on the Wireless Access Point1!CAUTION By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client canassociate with it and access your LAN, including unauthorized devices. Animportant next step is to configure security. Continue with Configuring Security onthe Wireless Access Point, page 24 for more information.Configuring Security on the Wireless Access PointYou configure secure wireless client access by configuring security for eachvirtual access point (VAP) that you enable. You can configure up to 16 VAPs perwireless radio that simulate multiple access points in one physical access point.For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless clientaccess.Each wireless radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. VAP 0, VAP 1, and VAP 2have different default settings than VAPs 3-15. By default, VAP 0, VAP 1, and VAP 2are enabled.VAP0 has the following default settings:• VLAN ID: 1• SSID: cisco-data• Broadcast SSID: Enabled• Security: None• MAC Authentication Type: Disabled• Station Isolation: Disabled• HTTP Redirect: DisableVAP1 has the following default settings:• VLAN ID: 100• SSID: cisco-voice• Broadcast SSID: Enabled• Security: None• MAC Authentication Type: DisabledCisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 24
