Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port 1, 2, or 3 of your router. Note Ethernet port 4 should not be used. Plug the power cord into the power connector. Plug the power cord into your power source. Press the power toggle switch to the on position. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 DSL/Cable Modem Router OfficeExtended AP Client 1 4 9 5 7 2 Step 6 Use the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LED table below (Table 1) to better understand the Status LED and the Ethernet LEDs located on the top panel of the access point. Note Note The first time you connect the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point, the process may take anywhere between 2 and 15 minutes due to an image download. If more than 10 access points are joining, the process could take as long as 60 minutes. When associated, your access point Status LED on the top panel displays a solid blue. You do not need to configure any SSIDs for your 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point to connect to your companys network. The access point receives the companys SSID when it connects to the company network by way of the Internet. If you have any problems connecting to your companys network, contact your IT administrator. You can configure your local SSID WLAN for other devices. See Configuring a Personal SSID on a Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point for more information. Caution Be careful when handling the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point. The bottom may be HOT. Tip To manage the heat generated from the access point, maintain air flow between the metal plate of the access point and the surface on which it is placed. A laptop cooling pad (such as ones containing gel or cooling crystals) is a possible option for an access point placed on a flat surface. Another option for managing the heat is to hang the access point on a wall. Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point User Guide 3 Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point Radio Frequency Coverage R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Note Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access points are designed to work behind a router or other gateway device that is using network address translation (NAT). NAT allows a device, such as a router, to act as an agent between the Internet (public) and a personal network (private), thereby enabling an entire group of computers to be represented by a single IP address. In controller software release 6.0, only one Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access point can be deployed behind a single NAT device. Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point Radio Frequency Coverage To ensure the best RF coverage for your access point, keep the following in mind:
Position the access point lower than or with the LED side facing your devices. Note Most of the coverage area is located towards the LED side of the access point.
If the access point is in close proximity and above your device, the signal may become skewed. Understanding Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LEDs You can use the Status LED on the top panel or the Ethernet LED in the cable bay area to assess the unit status. The table below displays LED status indications for AP600s (Table 1). Table 1 LED Status Indications for AP600 Status LED
(Top of Unit) Off Off Flashing On if CAPWAP is connected On Flashing Flashing Ethernet LED
(Cable Bay Area) Off Off On if a local client is associated. Otherwise, off. On if a client is associated Flashing Flashing out of sequence from Status LED (LED 1 on, LED 2 off, LED 1 off, LED2 of) Flashing in sequence with Status LED Description Normal bootloader operation.

Step 1 Obtain the IP address of your 600 Series OfficeExtend access point from your companys IT professional. Note The default IP address is 10.0.0.1. Step 2 With the 600 Series OfficeExtend access point connected to your home router, enter the IP address of the 600 Series OfficeExtend access point in the Address field of your Internet browser
(http:://<ap-ipaddress>) and click Go. Note Make sure you are not connected to your companys network using a virtual private network
(VPN) connection. Step 3 When prompted, enter the username and password to log into the access point. Note The default username and password are admin and admin. Step 4 On the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point Welcome page, click Enter. The 600 Series Office Extend Access Point Home page appears (see Figure 1).

This SSID will be locally switched. Tip Your personal SSID WLAN and your company SSID WLAN are different. When you configure your personal WLAN, use an SSID name that is different from your companys SSID to help avoid confusion. Step 9 Step 10 From the Security drop-down boxes, enable either WPA, WPA2, WPA+WPA2, or WEP to set the security type to be used by this access point. If you chose WPA2/PSK (AES) in Step 9, enter an 8- to 38-character WPA2 passphrase in the Secret field. If you chose 104 bit WEP, enter a 13-character ASCII key in the Key field. Step 11 Click Apply to commit your changes. Note If you ever want to use the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access point for another application, you can clear this configuration and return the access point to factory default settings by clicking Clear Config.

LED Status Access point Status LED is light green but clients are unable to associate. The access point suddenly stopped working. Reasons Access point has not joined the controller and the access point did not get an IP address or the firewall/NAT is blocking control traffic. Access point has joined the controller but the firewall/NAT is blocking control traffic. Some ISP change public IP address frequently. Access point is quickly blinking white. Client is unable to associate. Access points LED returns to amber. The access point signal is low. Access point keeps dropping off from controller. The access point may not be in the optimal position in relation to your device(s). If the access point is in close proximity and above your device, the signal may become skewed. Possible Solution Restart your modem, followed by your router
(sometimes the order is important). Configure the firewall correctly. Restart your modem, followed by your router
(sometimes the order is important). Configure the firewall correctly. Restart your home router followed by your 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point. Reboot the SOHO router followed by a reboot of the access point. Check your internet connection. Position the access point lower than or with the LED side facing your devices.
