Installation Guidelines
To install the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of your home router/gateway.
Step 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the WAN port of the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point.
Note The 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point has different power requirements than other Cisco
enterprise access points, and this unit will be damaged if incorrect power is applied. Please refer
to the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point specifications for power supply requirements.
Step 3 Insert the power cord into the power connector of the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point.
Step 4 Plug the other end of the power cord into your power source.
Step 5 Press the power toggle switch on the access point to the ON position.
Step 6 Use the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LED table (Table 1 on page 1-5) to understand the LEDs
located on the top panel of the access point.
Note The process of connecting the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point should only take 1 to 2 minutes.
Your unit may require a software image download. If so, once the connection is made, the Status LED
on the top of the unit will flash blue. The Status LED continues flashing until download is complete.
When the download is complete, your access point will restart. Once connected to the controller, the
Status LED will display a solid blue or purple.
Step 7 If your IT administrator has not pre-provisioned the 600 Series Office Extend AP with the IP address of
the Primary Wireless LAN Controller, please follow the steps in the procedure “Configuring the Wireless
LAN Controller IP Address on a Cisco Aironet 600 Series O
fficeExtend Access Point” section on
page 1-8, to configure this address.
Note You do not need to configure any SSIDs for your 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point to connect to
your company network. The access point receives the company SSID when it connects to the company
network by way of the Internet. If you have problems connecting to your company network, contact your
IT administrator. You can configure your local SSID Wireless LAN for other devices. See “Configuring
Radio Channels on a Cisco Aironet 600 Serie
s OfficeExtend Access Point” section on page 1-10 for
more information.
