Installation Summary

Installing the access point involves these operations:

• Mounting the access point

• Connecting power

• Obtaining an IP address

• Configuring power

• Configuring basic settings

• Configuring security settings

Before you install the access point, make sure that you are using a computer connected to the same network as the access point, and obtain the following information from your network system administrator:

• A system name

• The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) for your radio network

• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and the SNMP file attribute (if SNMP is in use)

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 13

If you are not connected to a DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI. In this situation, obtain a unique IP address for your access point, a default gateway, and subnet mask from your network system administrator.

Mounting the Access Point

The access point uses a detachable universal mounting plate to mount the access point to flat surfaces such as a wall or ceiling. The universal mounting plate is also used to mount the access point to an electrical or network junction box, or to the provided rail clips for below a suspended ceiling.

The mounting process is simple and requires common tools. Because it is detachable, you can use the universal mounting plate to mark the positions of the mounting holes for your installation. You then install the universal mounting bracket on the surface and attach the access point when you are ready.

When you have mounted the access point, its padlock post enables you to protect the Ethernet, power cables, and Mode button, and to lock the access point with a padlock.

Detailed mounting instructions are in the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series

Access Point Hardware Configuration Guide. This document is available on

Cisco.com.

14 78-15955-02

Connecting Power

Connect the 1130AG series access point to a power source. The access point can be powered locally by using an AC power module or over the Ethernet using power sourcing equipment (PSE). Regardless of the method you use, the power source must be compliant with the IEC60950 standard for a limited power source. IEC60950 devices include:

• An AC power module connected to the access point’s power connector

• The following devices that provide Power-over-Ethernet (PoE):

– An IEEE 802.3af compliant power source

– A compliant Cisco inline power switch

– A Cisco power injector with a compliant AC power module

Caution If the access point receives power through PoE, the output current of the PSE cannot exceed 400 mA or 154000/Vport, whichever is smaller. The power source must comply with

IEC60950. IEEE 802.3af compliant PSEs are compliant with

IEC60950.

When power is supplied to the access point, a routine power-up sequence begins which you can monitor by observing the access point status LED.

During the power up sequence the LED displays a series of colors. When the

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 15

power up sequence is complete, the LED displays a light green color to indicate that it is ready for operation. When a client associates to the access point, the status LED changes to blue. The LED displays amber to indicate a problem, such as when the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is supplying sufficient power. See the “Configuring Power” section on page 17.

Obtaining an IP Address

Your access point needs an IP address to operate. The access point is no longer shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address from your network’s DHCP server when you connect the access point to your network.

If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. Therefore, you must configure the IP address by opening the command line interface (CLI) from a terminal session established through the access point’s console port. See the

“Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI” section on page 18.

You must know your access point’s IP address before you can use the web-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address from your network’s DHCP server, you or your network administrator can find it by querying the DHCP server using the access point’s MAC address.

You can also find the access point’s IP address using Cisco’s IP Setup Utility

You can download IPSU from Cisco.com.

16 78-15955-02

Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI

When you connect the access point to the wired LAN, the access point links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the access point’s

Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.

When you assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI, you must assign the address to the BVI. Beginning in a privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the access point’s BVI:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

ip address address mask Assigns an IP address and subnet mask address to the BVI.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 17

Note If you are connected to the access point using a Telnet session you lose your connection to the access point when you assign a new IP address to the BVI. If you need to continue configuring the access point using Telnet, use the new IP address to open another Telnet session to the access point.

Using a Telnet Session to Access the CLI

Follow these steps to browse to access the CLI using a Telnet session. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions.

1.

Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet.

If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, select Start > Run, type

Telnet in the entry field, and press Enter.

2.

When the Telnet window appears, click Connect and select Remote

System.

In the Host Name field, type the access point’s IP address and click Connect.

18 78-15955-02

Configuring Power

After connecting the access point to a power source, its status LED might be amber, which can indicate that the access point is unable to verify that the

PSE is supplying sufficient power. In such cases, you will need to configure settings on the access point or the switch to identify your power source.

Identify your power source and switch condition and then make sure that your devices are configured as indicated in the table on page 19.

Follow these steps to configure the system power settings using the GUI:

1.

Open your browser and enter the access point’s IP address in the address field. A login and password screen appears.

2.

Enter the user name Cisco and password Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive.

3.

When the access point does not receive enough power for full operations, it is in low power mode. If your access point is in low power mode, a warning message appears indicating that all radios are disabled due to insufficient power. Click OK to continue. The System

Configuration page appears.

30 78-15955-02

Aironet Extensions

By default, the access point uses Cisco Aironet 802.11 extensions to detect the capabilities of Cisco Aironet client devices and to support features that require specific interaction between the access point and associated client devices. Aironet extensions must be enabled to support features such as load balancing, Message Integrity Check (MIC),

Temporal Key Integrity Check (TKIP), Repeater Mode, and World

Mode.

Disabling Aironet Extensions disables the features mentioned above, but it sometimes improves the ability of non-Cisco client devices to associate to the access point.

Configuring Security Settings

After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your work site.

Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. This illustration shows the Express Security page.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 31

32 78-15955-02

Understanding Express Security Settings

When the access point configuration is set to factory defaults, the first SSID that you create by using the Express Security page overwrites the default

SSID, which has no security settings. The SSIDs that you create appear in the

SSID table at the bottom of the page. You can create up to 16 SSIDs on the access point.

If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN and assign SSIDs to VLANs, you can create multiple SSIDs by using any of the four security settings on the

Express Security page. However, if you do not use VLANs on your wireless

LAN, the security options that you can assign to SSIDs are limited because on the Express Security page encryption settings and authentication types are linked. Without VLANs, encryption settings (WEP and ciphers) apply to an interface, such as the radio, and you cannot use more than one encryption setting on an interface. For example, when you create an SSID with static

WEP with VLANs disabled, you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID conflicts with another SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the conflict.

If any VLANs are defined on the access point, the trunk port on the switch must be limited to allow only the VLANs defined on the access point.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 33

Express Security Limitations

Because the Express Security page is designed for simple configuration of basic security, the options available are a subset of the access point security capabilities. Keep these limitations in mind when using the Express Security page:

• You cannot edit SSIDs. However, you can delete SSIDs and re-create them.

• You cannot assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces. The SSIDs that you create are enabled on all radio interfaces. To assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces, choose Security > SSID Manager.

• You cannot configure multiple authentication servers. To configure multiple authentication servers, click Security > Server Manager.

• You cannot configure multiple WEP keys. To configure multiple WEP keys, click Security > Encryption Manager.

• You cannot assign an SSID to a VLAN that is already configured on the access point. To assign an SSID to an existing VLAN, choose Security

> SSID Manager.

• You cannot configure combinations of authentication types on the same

SSID (such as MAC address authentication and EAP authentication). To configure combinations of authentication types, choose Security >

SSID Manager.

34 78-15955-02

The Express Setup screen sections and configurable settings are identified and briefly described below.

SSID Configuration

SSID

The SSID is a unique identifier that clients use to associate with the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters.

Default: No SSID assigned

Note These characters are not allowed: ?, “, $, [, \, ], and +. In addition, these characters cannot be the first character:

!, #, and ;.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 35

VLAN

A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by functions, project teams, or applications rather than on a physical or geographical basis.

Options: No VLAN, Enable VLAN ID (1–4095)

Default: No VLAN

Option

No VLAN

Enable VLAN

ID

Native VLAN

Description

No VLANs are enabled.

Enables a VLAN and specifies its identification number (1 through 4095).

Note After you have enabled a VLAN and assigned an identification number, check the Native VLAN check box to designate it as the native VLAN.

36 78-15955-02

Security

This setting identifies the security settings available on the Express

Security Setup page.

Options: No Security, Static WEP Key, EAP Authentication, WPA

Default: No Security

Option

No Security

Description

The least secure option. Use this option only for

SSIDs used in a public space, and assign it to a

VLAN that restricts access to your network.

Static WEP Key More secure than no security. However, static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack.

There are two different lengths for WEP keys:

40-bit and 128-bit (hexadecimal or ASCII characters. Cisco access points use hexadecimal characters. Client adapters may use either, depending on how the vendor chooses to configure them.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 37

Option Description

EAP

Authentication

Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP address and shared secret from an authentication server on your network (server authentication port

1645). You do not need to enter a WEP key.

WPA and WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to users authenticated against a database through the services of an authentication server, and encrypts their IP traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP. As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network (server authentication port 1645).

Checking Basic Settings

Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with wireless clients. If the access point does not communicate with client devices, check the following areas.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point 41

SSID

Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point. If a client device SSID does not match the

SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will not associate.

WEP Keys

The WEP keys that you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your client adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set the same value for WEP Key 3 on the access point. However, the access point does not need to use WEP Key

3 as the transmit key.

Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet

Access Points for instructions on setting the access point WEP keys.

Security Settings

Wireless devices attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options configured on the access point, such as

EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC)

WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.

42 78-15955-02

If a wireless client cannot authenticate with your access point, contact the system administrator for proper security settings in the client adapter and for the client adapter driver and firmware versions that are compatible with the access point settings.

Resetting to Default Configuration

If you forget your password that allows you to configure the access point, you may need to completely reset the configuration. You can use the MODE button on the access point to reset the configuration.

Note These steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.

Using the MODE Button
