Before You Start Before you configure the Stratix 5100 WAP, make sure you are using a computer
connected to the same network as the access point, and obtain the following
information from your network administrator:
• A system name for the access point
• The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) for your radio
network.
• If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for the access
point (such as 172.17.255.115).
• If the access point is not on the same subnet as your computer, a default
gateway address and subnet mask.
• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and
the SNMP file attribute (if SNMP is in use).
• If you use IPSU to find the wireless device IP address, the access point
MAC address. The MAC address can be found on the label on the bottom
of the access point (such as 00164625854c).
