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)

14 78-15955-02
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.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point
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

16 78-15955-02
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.

Quick Start Guide Cisco Aironet 1130AG Access Point
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:
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 Interface bvi1 Enters interface configuration mode
for the BVI.
Step 3 ip address address mask Assigns an IP address and subnet mask
address to the BVI.

18 78-15955-02
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.

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.
