Getting Started
1.
Get an IP address—
You will require an IP address to connect to a network. To
get an IP address from a DHCP server in your network:
a.
Connect the IAP to an intermediate gateway router or switch that has
connectivity to the DHCP server.
b.
Power on the IAP. The IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or
router. Power the IAP either by plugging to an Ethernet cable coming from
a 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or device, or by connecting it to
an AC adapter.
Note:
Use the Enet0 port on W-IAP134/135 for uplink connections to a switch or
router. The Enet1 port does not provide wired connectivity.
Note:
After the IAP starts up, it will try to do DHCP if static IP configuration is not
available. If DHCP times out, a default IP within 169.254.x.y/16 subnet will be
configured on the IAP.
