Setting The Access Point's Ip Address And Ssid - Cisco Aironet Quick Start Manual

3 Associate an IP Address with the Access Point (continued)

Setting the Access Point's IP Address and SSID

If your access point does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, use IPSU to assign an IP
address. You can set the access point's SSID at the same time.
Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the access point must have an IP
address of its own.
Note IPSU can only change the IP address and SSID from their default settings. After these
values have been changed, the utility cannot change them again unless you reset the
configuration to factory defaults. To do so, click Reset All System Factory Defaults on the
System Configuration Setup page in the access point management system.
Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start IPSU. The following screen

appears:
Make sure Set Parameters is selected in the Function box.
Step 2
Step 3 In the Device MAC ID field, enter the MAC address as it appears on the label on the bottom
of the access point. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. For example, your access
point's MAC address might look like this: 00409625854c.
