Configuring the Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point Setup WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Internet Administration Guide 24 6 Basic Setup The Setup > Basic Setup page displays the general settings of the access point. You can configure the following basic setup settings: •“Configuring Device Setup Settings” on page 24 •“Configuring Network Setup Settings” on page 24 Configuring Device Setup Settings To configure the device setup settings of the access point, follow these steps: STEP 1Click Setup > Basic Setup. STEP 2In the Device Setup section, enter the following information: •Host Name—Administratively-assigned name for the WAP device. The default host name is “wap” concatenated with the last six hex digits of the MAC address of the WAP device. Host Name labels contain only letters, digits and hyphens. Host Name labels cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted. You can use the host name to access the web-based configuration utility through the network if a record of the host name exists in your DNS server. The access point publishes the host name to your DNS server if you configured the access point to acquire its IP address from a DHCP server. •Device Name—Enter the device name for the access point. This name is identification purposes only. Unique, memorable names are helpful, especially if you are deploying multiple access points on the same network. This name helps you identify the access point after you log in. The default name is WAP4410N. STEP 3Click Save. Configuring Network Setup Settings This section allows you to configure the network setup settings of the access point. For information about the default IP address of the access point, see Launching the Web-Based Configuration Utility.

To configure the advanced setup settings of the access point, follow these steps: STEP 1Click Setup > Advanced. STEP 2The LAN Port Speed Settings configure settings for the port that physically connects the WAP device to a local area network. a. If the WAP device has compatibility issues with your switch, enable Force LAN Port Speed to 100M. The default is Disabled. b. Enable or disable the Auto Negotiation field. Default is disabled. When enabled, the port will negotiate with its link partner to set the fastest link speed and duplex mode available. When disabled, you can manually configure the port speed and duplex mode. c. If autonegotiation is disabled, select a Port Speed (10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, or 1000Mb/s,) and the duplex mode (Half- or Full-duplex). STEP 3To enable Bonjour, click Enabled. The default is Enabled. Bonjour enables the WAP and its services to be discovered by using multicast DNS (mDNS). Bonjour advertises services to the network and answers queries for service types it supports, simplifying network configuration in small business environments. STEP 4Enable or disable the redirecting of wireless clients to a custom Web page. When redirect mode is enabled, the user will be redirected to the URL you specify after the wireless client associates with a WAP device and the user opens a Web browser on the client to access the Internet. The custom Web page must be located on an external Web server and might contain information such as the company logo and network usage policy. NOTEThe wireless client is redirected to the external Web server only once while it is associated with the WAP device In the URL field, enter the URL where the Web browser is to be redirected after the wireless client associates with the WAP device and sends HTTP traffic. STEP 5IEEE 802.1X authentication enables the access point to gain access to a secured wired network. You can enable the access point as an 802.1X supplicant (client) on the wired network. To enable 802.1X supplicant settings: a. In the 802.1x Supplicant field, click Enabled. b. To use the MAC address for authentication, click Authentication via MAC Address.

Wireless The Wireless section describes how to configure the wireless settings of the access point. Basic Settings The Wireless > Basic Settings page displays the basic wireless network settings. To configure the basic attributes for this access point, follow these steps: STEP 1Click Wireless > Basic Settings. STEP 2From the Wireless Network Mode field, select one of the following modes: •Disable—Disables wireless connectivity completely. This might be useful during system maintenance. •B-Only—Connects all the wireless client devices to the access point at Wireless-B data rates with maximum speed at 11 Mbps. •G-Only—Connects both Wireless-N and Wireless-G client devices at Wireless-G data rates with maximum speed at 54Mbps. Wireless-B clients cannot be connected in this mode. •N-Only—Connects only Wireless-N client devices at Wireless-N data rates with maximum speed at 300 Mbps. See NOTE for more information. •B/G-Mixed—Connects both Wireless-B and Wireless-G client devices at their respective data rates. Wireless-N devices can be connected at Wireless-G data rates. •B/G/N-Mixed—(Default) Connects all the wireless client devices at their respective data rates in this mixed mode. STEP 3From the Wireless Channel drop-down menu, select the appropriate channel to be used among your access point and client devices. The default is channel 6.
Configuring the Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point Wirele ss WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Internet Administration Guide 29 6 You can also select Auto from the Wireless Channel drop-down menu so that your access point selects the channel with the lowest amount of wireless interference while the system is powering up. Automatic channel selection starts when you click Save. It takes several seconds to scan through all the channels to find the best channel. NOTEFor the Wireless-N 40MHz channel option (see the Wireless > Advanced screen), the access point can bind two 20 MHz channels into one wider channel to double the data rate. The N spec is able to use 40MHz of bandwidth for increased data rates, but to maintain compatibility with legacy systems, it requires one main 20MHz channel plus a free adjacent channel at ±20MHz. The main channel is used for legacy modes (a/b/g) or other clients that arent able to transmit at 40MHz. We recommend not enabling 40MHz in the 2.4GHz band in dense commercial areas. STEP 4In the SSID Name and SSID Broadcast fields, enter the SSIDs you want your access point to broadcast: •SSID Name—This field specifies a unique SSID that is shared among all devices in a wireless network. It is case-sensitive, must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, and may contain any keyboard character. Make sure this name is used by all devices in your wireless network. The default SSID name is ciscosb. •SSID Broadcast—Allows the SSID to be broadcast on your network. You might want to enable this function while configuring your network, but make sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this option enabled, someone can easily obtain the SSID information with site survey software or Windows XP and gain unauthorized access to your network. Select Enabled to broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range. Select Disabled to increase network security and prevent the SSID from being seen on networked PCs. The default is Enabled in order to help users configure their network before using it. STEP 5Click Save.
