Possible Cause of Installation Failure
No Power
• Power up the switch and your computer if they are turned off.
• Make sure your PoE switch is powered on and the lights indicate that you have
a link. See Verifying the Hardware Installation, page
• Verify that the devices on your network are not plugged into a switchable
outlet.
Bad Ethernet Connection
• Check the state of the indicator lights. See
page 6.
• Check the Ethernet cable to ensure that it is firmly connected to your devices.
Devices connected by the Ethernet cable can include the WAP device, and
routers, any switches, and your computer.
• Verify the connected switch has auto-negotiation enabled. The access point
and the switch need the same negotiation parameters set.

After a new firmware installation, if the Power light is solid red, contact system
support; see , page11.
Incorrect IP Address
The most likely cause of connectivity failure is an incorrect IP address. The Web
browser may be pointing to the wrong IP address, or your computer may be
configured with an IP address that is not in the same subnet as the device.
Because the factory default IP address configuration is DHCP, make sure that your
DHCP server is running and can be reached. You may need to disconnect and
reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from the DHCP
server. You can then query the DHCP server for the new IP address. See
Getting Started with the Configuration, page 7
find the DHCP address.
If the wireless access points do not receive a DHCP response (there is no DHCP
server on your network) after 60 seconds, the access points will fallback to the
following default static IP address: 192.168.1.245 and a default mask of
