If you have access to the DHCP server on your network and know the MAC address of your AP, you can view the new IP
address associated with the MAC address of the AP.
If you do not have access to the DHCP server that assigned the IP address to the AP or do not know the MAC address of
the AP, you might need to use the CLI to find out what the new IP address is. For information about how to discover a
dynamically assigned IP address, see

To access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the AP into a Web browser. You can use the default IP
address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on you
network to assign network information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default.
To install the UAP, use the following steps:
1. Connect the AP to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-cable connection.
• To use a LAN connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the
other end to the same hub where your PC is connected, as shown in the following figure.
The hub or switch you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all other devices on the
network.
• To use a direct-cable connection, connect one end of an Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable to the network
port on the access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC, as shown in the following
figure. You can also use a serial cable to connect the serial port on the AP to a serial port on the administrative
computer.
For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be sure to set your PC to a static IP
address in the same subnet as the default IP address on the access point. (The default IP address for the access point
is 10.90.90.91.)
If you use this method, you will need to reconfigure the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access
