To browse to the Straitx 5100 WAP Device Manager Easy access point setup
page, you must either obtain or assign the access point IP address. Provide your
network administrator with the access point Media Access Control (MAC)
address. Your network administrator queries the DHCP server by using the
MAC address to identify the IP address. The access point MAC address is on
label attached to the bottom of the access point.

Default IP Address Behavior

When you connect a Stratix 5100 WAP with a default configuration to your
LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your DHCP server and, if it
does not receive an address, continues to send requests indefinitely.
If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access
point to a wired LAN), you can connect a computer to by using a the console
cable provided, (DB-9 to (RJ-45) serial cable.
Follow these steps to open CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
1. Connect the console cable (RJ-45) to the WAP.
2. Connect the other end of the console cable (DB-9) to the serial port on
the computer.
3. Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point.
Use the following settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. If Xon/Xoff
flow control does not work, use no flow control.
4. When connected, press enter or type
Pressing enter takes you to the user exec mode and prompts you for a
password, then takes you to the privileged exec mode.
5. When your configuration changes are completed, remove the serial cable
from the access point.
See Configure the Stratix 5100 WAP Using the Command-Line Interface on
page 175 for detailed information. Once you have completed the initial
configuration using CLI and the console cable, you can logon to the access point
and begin using Stratix 5100 Device Manager.
The Stratix 5100 WAP radios are disabled and no default SSID is assigned. This
is to prevent unauthorized users to access a your wireless network through an
access point having a default SSID and no security settings. You must create an
SSID before you can enable the access point radio interfaces.
