your access point:

• Access Point Management Page
• Wireless Configuration Page
Access Point Configuration
To change the access point IP address, password, and VLAN configuration, do the
following:
Click Change Administrator Password to provide a new administration password
for the access point. (The username is cisco and it cannot be changed. The default
password is cisco.)
If you do not have a DHCP server on the network and do not plan to use one, click
Change IP Address to change the connection type from DHCP to static IP and set
a static IP address and subnet mask.
We recommend that you assign a new static IP address. Otherwise, if you
NOTE
bring up another Cisco AP541N on the same network, the IP address for
each access point will not be unique; duplicating an IP address on a network
will create a conflict.
Also, if you change the static IP address, you will lose connectivity. To
reestablish connectivity, enter the new IP address into your Web browser
and log into the Configuration Utility.
To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see
Settings, page 35.
