Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco AP541N. The Cisco AP541N, part of the
Cisco Smart Business Communications System (SBCS), is a wireless
network communications device.
This guide is designed to familiarize you with the general layout of the
access point, how to deploy the device in your network, and access the
configuration interface. Your access point has more features or
functionality than what is described in this guide. For additional
configuration information, see the Cisco AP541N Administration Guide
available at www.cisco.com/go/TBD.

Before You Begin
Decide if you are going to configure the device by using a static IP address
or the IP address assigned by a network DHCP server.
NOTE It is expected that a static IP address to be assigned to the
access point is based on the network topology and known prior
to installation.
If while displaying the configuration window the IP address is
changed, either by a DHCP server or manually, you will loose
connectivity between the PC and the access point.
Also make sure that you have the following equipment and services:
• Tools for installing the hardware
• PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6 and higher), Firefox
(version 3 or higher), or Safari (for Mac).
• TBD
• TBD
• Need Eng to provide the information for this section.

Getting to Know the Cisco AP541N
This section describes the exterior of the access point.
Front Panel LEDs
PWR—Lights green while the access point is powered on. Blinks during a
firmware upgrade.
PoE—Lights green when Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is powering the
access point.
Diag—Lights red during the power-on-self-test (POST) or the system is
otherwise not ready.
Speed—The LAN LED light is off when the LAN port data speed is zero or
10 Mbps. Lights amber to indicate the LAN port data speed is 100 Mbps.
Lights green to indicate the LAN port data speed is 1000 Mbps.
LAN—Lights solid green when a link is established. Blinks green when the
port is passing traffic.
WLAN 2.4G—Lights solid green when a 2.4 GHz wireless network link is
established. Blinks green when the link is passing traffic. The light is off
when the 2.4 GHz radio is off.

WLAN 5.0G—Lights solid green when a 5.0 GHz wireless network link is
established. Blinks green when the link is passing traffic. The light is off
when the 5.0 GHz radio is off.
Back Panel Ports
Ethernet Port—The access point is equipped with an auto-sensing, Gigabit
Ethernet (802.3) port used for configuration and wired network
communications. Auto-sensing technology enables the port to
automatically detect the speed and duplex settings of the device
connected to it, and adjust its speed and duplex settings to match the
settings of the connected device. The Gigabit Ethernet port accepts an
RJ-45 connector and supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
NOTE We recommend using Cat5e or better cable. Also, do not
exceed the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100
meters) per segment.
ANT01, ANT02, and ANT03—BNC connectors that accept the antennas
provided with the access point.

Installing the Cisco AP541N
The access point can be placed on a wall, a flat surface, a ceiling, or in a
ceiling plenum space. A ceiling mount kit is available for this device
(
SKU#). Do not deploy the device in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not
exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40C).
Reduced Air Flow—The air flow must be adequate to prevent
overheating.
Mechanical Overloading—The device should be level, stable, and
secure to avoid it sliding or shifting out of position.
Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet or a PoE
port must not overload that circuit or PoE device.
NOTE We recommend using Cat5e or better cable. Also, do not
exceed the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100
meters).
To place the access point on a desktop, install the four rubber feet
(included) on the bottom of the access point. Place the device on a flat
surface.
To prepare the device, do the following:
STEP 1 Attach the antennas to the RP-TNC connectors labeled ANT101,
ANT102, and ANT103. The antennas are all the same, so which
antenna is attached to what connector is of no consequence.
STEP 2 Determine where you want to locate the access point. If you are
using AC power, make sure the location is within reach of an AC
power outlet.
STEP 3 Keep enough ventilation space for the access point and check for
any environmental restrictions.
