Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide viii C H A P T E R 1 About Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Introduction to Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point, on page 1 Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Features, on page 1 AP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains, on page 3 Antennas and Radios, on page 3 Introduction to Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point The Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point is an enterprise-class tri-band (2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, 6-GHz) access point.T The AP supports full interoperability with leading 802.11ax and 802.11ac clients and a hybrid deployment with other APs and controllers. A full listing of the AP's features and specifications is provided in the Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Data Sheet, at:

Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Features The CW9162I AP is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E enterprise indoor access point designed to work with the Cisco 9800 wireless controller. The AP includes the following hardware and supporting features:

Five radios:

A 2x2:2 6-GHz radio A 2x2:2 5-GHz radio A 2x2:2 2.4-GHz radio A tri-band scanning radio for Cisco CleanAir Pro A 2.4-GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio Integrated internal antennas that are omnidirectional in azimuth for the 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz bands. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1 Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Features About Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Scanning radio utilizes one 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz antenna. The BLE uses one 2.4GHz antenna Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology for downlink. Note Only 6-GHz antenna supports Uplink MU-MIMO. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access-based (OFDMA-based) scheduling for both uplink and downlink. The following hardware external interfaces:

1x100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) RS-232 Console Interface through RJ-45 Recovery push button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery) USB 2.0 port, type-A connector DC 12V power jack One multicolor LED Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio to enable IoT use cases such as location tracking and wayfinding. Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) that allows APs and their clients to differentiate between multiple BSS, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions. Power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows a client to stay asleep and wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This provides significant energy savings for battery-operated devices. Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center (DNA Center) support to enable Cisco DNA Spaces, Apple FastLane, and Cisco Identity Services Engine. Optimized AP Roaming to ensure that client devices associate with the AP in the coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available. Cisco CleanAir Pro technology supports 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz and 6-GHz bands. CleanAir Pro delivers proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20, 40, and 80, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems arising from wireless interference. The CW9162I AP is supported in a Cisco SDA deployment. The AP supports lightweight deployments (using Cisco Wireless Controllers). The AP also supports the following operating modes:

Local mode: This is the default mode for the AP. In this mode, the AP serves clients. The AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the controller, one for management and the other for data traffic. This is known as central switching because the data traffic is switched (bridged) from the AP to the controller where it is then routed. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2 About Cisco Catalyst 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point AP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains FlexConnect: In FlexConnect mode the data traffic is switched locally and is not sent to the controller. In this mode, the AP behaves like an autonomous AP, but is managed by the controller. Here, the AP can continue to function even if connection to the controller is lost. Fabric Mode Monitor mode: In this mode, specified Cisco APs can exclude themselves from handling data traffic between clients and the infrastructure. These APs act as dedicated sensors for location-based services

(LBS), rogue AP detection, and intrusion detection system (IDS).When APs are in monitor mode, they actively monitor the airwaves and typically, do not serve clients. Sniffer mode: In this mode, the AP starts sniffing the air on a given channel. It captures and forwards all the packets from the clients on that channel to a remote machine that runs AiroPeek NX or Wireshark

(packet analyzers for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs). This includes information on time stamp, signal strength, packet size, and so on. Note In the sniffer mode, the server to which the data is sent should be on the same VLAN as the wireless controller management VLAN. Otherwise an error is displayed. Office Extended mode:

Site Survey mode: The AP GUI is enabled and is used for configuring the RF parameters for site survey investigation. For information, see the Access Points Survey Mode section in the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide.

Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional), on page 17 Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines, on page 19 Mounting the Access Point, on page 20 Powering the Access Point, on page 21 Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional) The following procedures describe the processes to ensure that your AP installation and initial operation go as expected. Note Performing a preinstallation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network controller is properly configured, you can install your AP in its final location and connect it to the network from there. For more information, see Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network, on page 24. The following illustration shows the preinstallation configuration setup:

Perform the following steps:

Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 17 Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional) Installation Overview Before you begin Ensure that the Cisco Controller Distribution System (DS) port is connected to the network. Use the procedure for CLI or GUI as described in the release appropriate Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide. Enable Layer 3 connectivity between APs, Cisco Controller Management, and AP-Manager interface. Configure the switch to which your AP has to attach. See the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for the release you are using, for additional information. Ensure that the DHCP is enabled on the network. The AP must receive its IP address through DHCP. Note An 802.11ax AP is assigned an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router (gateway) is configured on the DHCP server (enabling the AP to receive its gateway IP address) and the gateway ARP is resolved. CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network. The AP must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, see the product documentation. See also the Configuring DHCP Option 43, on page 29 for more information. Note The AP requires a multi-gigabit Ethernet (5 Gbps) link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic. Note The Cisco CW9162I-MR AP does not join the Cisco 9800 Wireless Controller. The AP needs to be migrated to join the controller and requires you to contact the Meraki support team. Procedure Step 1 Power the AP using supported power source. See Powering the Access Point, on page 21. As the AP attempts to connect to the controller, the LED cycles through a green, red, and off sequence, which can take up to five minutes. Note If the AP remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the AP cannot find the primary Cisco 9800 controller. Check the connection between the AP and the Cisco 9800 controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet. If the AP shuts down, check the power source. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 18 Installation Overview Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines After the AP finds the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the AP code version differs from the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks blue. If the operating system download is successful, the AP reboots. Step 2 Step 3

(Optional) Configure the AP. Use the controller CLI, GUI, or Cisco DNA Center to customize the access point-specific 802.11ax network settings. If the preinstallation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green, indicating normal operation. Disconnect the AP and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network. Step 4 If your AP does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the preinstallation configuration. Note When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a subnet that is different from the Cisco 9800 controller, ensure the following setup is configured:

A DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you plan to install the AP. The subnet has a route back to the controller. This route has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. The route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controller allows IP packet fragments. If address translation is used, the access point and the controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. Port Address Translation is not supported. Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the Site Planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available:

Access point locations Access point mounting options: Below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on top of a desk Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling, but you must purchase additional mounting hardware: For more information, see Mounting the Access Point, on page 20. Access point power options: Use either of the following options to power the AP:

Cisco-approved power injector PoE with a supporting switch Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 19 Mounting the Access Point Installation Overview Note The Underwriter Laboratories (UL)-approved Listed Power Adapter must meet the following minimum specifications: Rated output of 54Vdc, min. 0.92A. If 802.3af is used, Ethernet gets downgraded to 1 GbE. The USB port is also off. Operating temperature:

CW9162I: 32F to 104F (0C to 40C) Note When installing the AP in an environment where the ambient temperature is in the range of 104and 122F (>40 and 50C), the access point derates to 1x1 for tri-radio (2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, 6-GHz). Console access using the console port We recommend that you use a console cable that is one meter or less in length. Note The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable

(not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length. We recommend that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network.

DC power jack Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 22 C H A P T E R 5 Configuring and Deploying the Access Point This section describes how to connect the AP to a controller. For instructions on how to configure the AP, see the relevant release Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide.. The Controller Discovery Process, on page 23 Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network, on page 24 Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 24 The Controller Discovery Process To support CW9162I AP, the controller must be running Cisco IOS-XE 17.9.1 or a later release. For more information, see the access point data sheet at:

Cisco Catalyst 9164 Series Access Points Data Sheet Cisco Catalyst 9166 Series Access Points Data Sheet Guidelines and Limitations It is not possible to edit or query an access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space. Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time. The AP must discover the controller before it can become an active part of the network. The AP supports the following controller discovery processes:

Locally stored controller IP address discovery: If the access point was previously joined to a controller, the IP addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers are stored in the access point's nonvolatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an access point for later deployment is called priming the access point. For more information about priming, see the Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional), on page 17. DHCP server discovery: This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see the Configuring DHCP Option 43, on page 29. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 23 Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network Configuring and Deploying the Access Point DNS discovery: The access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). For the access point to do so, you must configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain, where localdomain is the access point domain name. Configuring the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backwards compatibility in an existing customer deployment. When an access point receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the access point sends discovery requests to the controllers. Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network After you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:

Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Connect and power up the access point. Observe the access point LED. For LED status descriptions, see Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 24. When you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can verify by observing the access point LED. If the power-up sequence is successful, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the LED blinks green, red, and off sequentially. When the access point has joins a controller, the LED is green if no clients are associated, or blue if one or more clients are associated. If the LED is not on, the access point is most likely not receiving power. If the LED blinks sequentially for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find its primary, secondary, and tertiary controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller, and be sure that the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller are either on the same subnet or that the access point has a route back to its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless Controller. Also, if the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco Wireless Controller, ensure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point. For more information, see Configuring DHCP Option 43, on page 29. Checking the Access Point LEDs The location of the access point status LED is shown in Connectors and Ports on the AP, on page 5. Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturers specifications and is not a defect. However, the intensity of the LED can be changed through the controller. When the AP is under Meraki management mode, the LED status indicators convey status differently than the Cisco APs. For more information, see the Meraki CW9162 Installation Guide. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 24 Configuring and Deploying the Access Point Checking the Access Point LEDs The access point status LED indicates various conditions, which are described in the following table.

Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration Clear AP's internal storage, including all the configuration files To use the Mode button, press, and continue to press the Mode button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait until the AP console shows a seconds counter. When the counter indicates the number of seconds for which the Mode button is pressed, the AP status LED changes to blinking red. Then reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, keep the mode button pressed for less than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared. Clear the AP internal storage, including all the configuration files, keep the Mode button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds. This resets all the configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID. Note If the Mode button is pressed for more than 30 seconds, but less than 60 seconds, the FIPS mode flag is also cleared during the full factory reset of the AP. If the FIPS flag is set, the console access is disabled. The AP status LED changes from blue to red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared. If you keep the Mode button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the button is assumed as being faulty and no changes are made. Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 27 Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process Note As specified in the Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix, ensure that your controller is running controller software Cisco IOS-XE 17.9.1 or a later release to support Cisco CW9162I AP. Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasonsa RADIUS authorization is pending, self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller, the access point and the controller regulatory domains do not match, and so on. Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. All the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself. When the ordered AP is a CW9162I-MR model, or the AP is in Meraki Management mode, it will not attempt to join the Cisco 9800 Wireless Controller. You need to contact the Meraki support team to perform the migration procedure on the AP. The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller. It can be difficult to determine why the discovery request from a certain access point was rejected. In order to troubleshoot such joining problems we recommend you to run traces commands on the Cisco 9800 wireless controller. The controller collects all the join-related information for each access point that sends a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller. Collection begins with the first discovery message received from the access point and ends with the last configuration payload sent from the controller to the access point. When the controller is maintaining join-related information for the maximum number of access points, it does not collect information for any more access points. An access point sends all the syslog messages to the IP address 255.255.255.255 by default. You can also configure a DHCP server to return a syslog server IP address to the access point using option 7 on the server. The access point then starts sending all the syslog messages to this IP address. When the access point joins a controller for the first time, the controller sends the global syslog server IP address (the default is 255.255.255.255) to the access point. The access point send all syslog messages to this IP address until it is overridden by the following configuration:

The access point is still connected to the same controller, and the global syslog server IP address configuration on the controller has been changed using the syslog host <ip address> command. In this case, the controller sends the new global syslog server IP address to the access point. To configure the global syslog server IP address 1. configure terminal 2. ap profile ap-profile-name 3. syslog host syslog IP address 4. exit Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 28 Troubleshooting Important Information for Controller-Based Deployments The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller. In this case, the new controller sends its global syslog server IP address to the access point. Whenever a new syslog server IP address overrides the existing syslog server IP address, the old address is erased from persistent storage, and the new address is stored in its place. The access point also starts sending all the syslog messages to the new IP address, provided the access point can reach the syslog server IP address. Note You can configure the syslog server for access points and view the access point join information only from the controller CLI. Important Information for Controller-Based Deployments Keep these guidelines in mind when you use Cisco CW9162I Series AP:

The AP can only communicate with Cisco wireless controllers. The AP does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the AP joins it. CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The AP must get an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. The AP console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes. All the configuration commands are disabled when the AP is connected to a controller. Configuring DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling them to find and join a controller. The following is a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Catalyst lightweight access points. For other DHCP server implementations, see the product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface. Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type. The Cisco CW9162I Series access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point DHCP Vendor Class Identifier

(VCI) string (DHCP Option 43). The VCI string for the Cisco CW9162I access point is:

Cisco AP CW9162I The format of the TLV block is listed below:

Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 29 Configuring DHCP Option 43 Troubleshooting Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241) Length: Number of controller IP addresses x 4 Value: IP addresses of the wireless controller management interfaces listed sequentially in Hex code. To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:

Procedure Enter the configuration mode Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. A DHCP scope example is as follows:

Step 1 Step 2 ip dhcp pool <pool name>

network <IP Network> <Netmask>

default-router <Default router>

dns-server <DNS Server>

Here:

<pool name>: is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP9136I

<IP Network>: is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1

<Netmask>: is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0

<Default router>: is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1

<DNS Server>: is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2 Step 3 Add the Option 43 line using the following syntax:

option 43 hex <hex string>

The hex string is assembled by concatenating the following TLV values:

Type + Length + Value For example, if there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses, 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2, the type is f1(hex), the length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex), and the IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.

1. Security screw The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to the mount plate. Engaging the security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft. 2. Kensington lock The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent structure using a standard Kensington lock. 2.4 Ethernet Ports The CW9162I-MR features an Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3af power (labeled PoE). This port should be used for uplink to your WAN connection. 2.5 Power Source Options The CW9162I-MR access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter or 802.3af PoE Injector (both sold separately) or a third-party 802.3af PoE switch. 2.6 Factory Reset Button If the button is pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the CW9162I-MR will reboot and be restored to its original factory settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit. 6 3 Pre-Install Preparation You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation. 3.1 Configure Your Network in Dashboard The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an CW9162I-MR to your network. For detailed instructions about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the Meraki Cloud Controller Manual (meraki.com/library/product). 1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account. 2. Find the network to which you plan to add your APs or create a new network. 3. Add your APs to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice if you ordered directly from Meraki) or the serial number of each AP, which looks like Qxxx-

xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. You will also need your Enterprise Cloud Controller license key, which you should have received via email from shipping@meraki.com. 4. Go to the map / floor plan view and place each AP on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location where you plan to mount it. 3.2 Check and Upgrade Firmware To ensure your CW9162I-MR performs optimally immediately following installation, Meraki recommends that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your CW9162I-MR. 1. Attach your CW9162I-MR to power and a wired Internet connection. See p. 19 of this Hardware Installation Guide for details. 2. The CW9162I-MR will turn on and the Power LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a firmware upgrade, the Power LED will turn white within thirty seconds.

* If the unit requires an upgrade, the Power LED will begin blinking orange until the upgrade is complete, at which point the Power LED will turn solid white. You should allow about an hour for the firmware upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection. 3.3 Check and Configure Firewall Settings If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses can be found here:

http://tinyurl.com/y79une3 7 3.4 Assigning IP Addresses to CW9162I-MR All gateway CW9162I-MR (CW9162I-MR with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned. 3.4.1 Dynamic Assignment When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for each MAC address belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the wireless network such as 802.1x authentication, may rely on the property that the APs have static IP addresses. 3.4.2 Static Assignment Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The following procedure describes how to set the static IP:

1. Using a client machine (e.g. a laptop), connect to the AP either wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection. If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the CW9162I-MR either through a PoE switch or a Meraki PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the CW9162I-

MRs Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. If using a Meraki PoE Injector, connect the CW9162I-MR to the PoE port of the Injector, and the client machine to the LAN port. 2. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the APs built-in web server by browsing to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128. 3. Click on the Static IP Configuration tab. Log in. The default username is admin. The default password is the APs serial number, with hyphens included 4. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this AP will use on its wired connection. 5. If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN. 3.4.3 Static IP via DHCP Reservations Instead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can assign static IP addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through DHCP reservations, IP addresses are reserved for the MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server to configure DHCP reservations. 8 3.5 Collect You will ne Tools ed the follow wing tools to perform an i installation:
