AIR-1852I-A-K9 environment requirements

[gpoe]

A client purchased an AIR-... as above, they cannot get it to be recognized on their local network as a wireless access point. The DHCP server gives it an IP address but the local admin cannot access by IP, wireless WIFI, or Cisco AitProvision.

The WIFI names can be seen but not connected to even on the password login.

Any ideas?  This is the only CISCO product on their network.

Does the network require a cisco wireless lan controller to work?

The short jist:

Starting the Initial Configuration Wizard

---

Step 1	Boot the AP that has controller capability. This AP should either be a 1850 or a 1830 series AP. It will be a few minutes before the CiscoAirProvision SSID starts broadcasting after initially powering up the AP. Once the CiscoAirProvisionSSID starts broadcasting, the AP's status LED start cycling through green, red, and amber.
Step 2	Connect the Wi-Fi-enabled laptop to the CiscoAirProvision SSID advertised by the AP, using Wi-Fi. The password is password. The laptop gets an IP address from the subnet 192.168.1.0/24.
Step 3	Using a supported browser, go to http://192.168.1.1, which is redirected to the initial configuration wizard. The initial configuration wizard’s admin account window is displayed in your browser.
