This guide is designed to familiarize you with the general layout of the
Cisco WAP131, describe how to deploy the Cisco WAP131 in your
network, and describe how to configure the Cisco WAP131. For additional

WLAN, and LAN. For full descriptions of the colors of the lights and their
indications, see “Verifying the Hardware Installation”.

Back Panel

RESET—See “Rebooting the Cisco WAP131 or Returning it to its

Factory Default Settings” for information on the RESET button.

LAN (PoE)—The RJ-45 Ethernet port is used to power the Cisco WAP131

using PoE. It is an auto-sensing, gigabit Ethernet (802.3) port used to
connect your WAP devices to network devices, such as computers,
routers, or switches. We strongly recommend that you use a Category
5e or better cable for gigabit connectivity.

Placement Tips

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the Cisco WAP131 from

overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient
temperature of 104°F (40°C).

•Air Flow—Both side panels have vents that must be unobstructed to
prevent overheating.

• Mechanical Loading—The Cisco WAP131 should be level, stable, and
secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position.

The default configuration of the Cisco WAP131 has the Wi-Fi radio turned
off. You must perform the initial configuration using a wired Ethernet
connection.

To connect the Cisco WAP131 to the wired network:

STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a switch, a router,

or a PC.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port of the Cisco WAP131.

STEP 3 If PoE is not provided, plug in the supplied power adapter to

provide power to the Cisco WAP131.

After installation, all lights should be active. Refer to Verifying the

Hardware Installation, page 5 for details about the different lights on the

Cisco WAP131.
