Defining a Basic AP-6511 Configuration

Once the Access Point is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to get the device up
and running using the Initial Setup Wizard and access the AP-6511's management functions:
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the PoE port on the back of the AP-6511. Connect
the other end to a computer with a functional Web browser. Use a power injector as needed
to consolidate power and Ethernet in one cable (for more information, see "
System
" on page 5).
If your host system is a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to the AP-6511
and can be used for device connection. However, if a DHCP server is not available, you'll
need to derive the IP address from the AP-6511 MAC address. Using this method, the last
two bytes of the AP-6511 MAC address become the last two octets of the IP address.

c. Enter a hex byte of the AP-6511's MAC address. For example, F0.
d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for
the last AP-6511 MAC address octet.
2. Point the Web browser to the AP-6511's IP address. The following login screen displays.
