Basic configuration

  • Find the MAC address on the sticker on the bottom
  • Add a fixed address entry for it to the DHCP server
  • Reset configuration. Power AP down, find the "MODE" button near the Ethernet and power jacks, hold MODE button, apply power, wait for Ethernet LED to turn amber, release MODE button.
  • Point a web browser at the WAP's IP address (HTTP on port 80 for now. A factory reset turns off the HTTPS and SSH servers if they were on) and log in with the default user name and password. You should be prompted with a dialog asking for Level 15 access credentials.
  • In the SERVICES section of the menu on the left side of the web interface, go the the Telnet/SSH page. Disable telnet, enable Secure Shell, specify a host key length of 2048 bits, and hit the Apply button.
  • On the SERVICES -> HTTP configuration page, turn off the "Enable Standard (HTTP) Browsing" checkbox, turn on the "Enable Secure (HTTPS) Browsing" checkbox, and hit the Apply button.
