Initial Configuration Recommendations
Note
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA and later software, the access point/bridge with a default configuration
requests an IP address from your DHCP server, and if it does not receive an IP address, it continues to
send requests indefinitely. It does not have a default IP address.
Note
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later software, the radio interface is disabled by default for security
reasons and does not contain a default SSID. This prevents you from performing the initial configuration
using the radio interface.
Console Port
You can use the power injector’s console port for entering CLI commands. Follow these steps to connect
to the power injector’s console port:
Step 1
Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial console port on the power
injector and to the COM port on a computer.
Note
Step 2
The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to
http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order a serial cable.
Set up a terminal emulator, such as Windows Hyper Terminal, to communicate with the access
point/bridge. Use the following settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

Step 3
The access point/bridge default username and password and the enable password are all Cisco (case
sensitive).
Note
When your configuration changes are completed, you must remove the serial cable from the
console port.
You can use Cisco IOS commands to configure a static IP address on the BVI1 interface, which enables
you to browse or Telnet to the access point/bridge using Ethernet. For example:
ap#configure terminal
ap(config)#interface bvi1
ap(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
ap(config-if)#exit
ap#write memory
Ethernet Port
When using a web browser (HTTP) or Telnet connection through the power injector’s Ethernet port,
follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect the power injector's Ethernet port to a LAN containing a running DHCP server.
Step 2
Power up the access point/bridge unit.
Step 3
Check the DHCP server's lease table to find the IP address assigned to the access point/bridge’s client ID.
Step 4
Use the IP address to Telnet or browse to the access point/bridge. The default username and password
are both Cisco (case sensitive).
Antenna Recommendations
•
AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 has a single integrated antenna and is not configurable for antenna selection
(diversity/left/right). The x represents your regulatory region.
•
AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R does not ship with an antenna because many different external antennas can
be used with this product to cover various environments and applications. You must install one or
two external antennas. The x represents your regulatory region. For additional information on
antennas and accessories, refer to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_data_sheets_list.html
– If two diversity antennas are installed, Cisco recommends that you configure Diversity for the
antenna receive and antenna transmit settings.
– If only one antenna is installed, Cisco recommends that you connect it to the right RP-TNC
antenna connector and that you configure Right (Primary) for the antenna receive and antenna
transmit settings.
