My knowledge is very basic so please bear me with me.
I just bought a CISCO892W-AGN-E-K9. This device has two indepent wireless antenna's, an 8 port internal switch plus two WAN links, 1 Gigabit Ethernet and a fast ethernet port and finally a backup ISDN line. I am not going to use the ISDN.
I am trying to get start with some very basic activity which is enabling the Gigabit Ethernet (or the FE, I don't care). My plan was to either give it a static IP address or a DHCP address. A DHCP server is present.
The first issue is that the WAN ports don't seem to be accessible. If I connect either of the WAN ports and power up the device they don't seem to be enabled, sending out DHCP or the like etc.
So I changed strategy and connected one of the internal switch ports. That works. It apparently does an DHCP over the 8 port switch and it does get an IP and so I can use telnet to login to the device. I am missing some converter so I haven't been able to use the console port.
So when I log in into the device I do find the GE but I can't find the FE or the switch port.

So it seems that the GE interface is connected to the internal switch. Where are my wlan ports?
Any help is appreciated. Just to be sure I'll append the show interfaces output and the running config (which is the default config).

Default username/password setup on AP is cisco/cisco with privilege level 15.
It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with privilege level
15 using the following command for console security.
username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
no username cisco
Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you want to
use. After you change your username/password you can turn off this message
by configuring "no banner login" and "no banner exec" in privileged mode.

Some good news. As I said in the original post I wasn't using the console port. This turns out to make a big difference.
If I run the command "sh ip interf brief" from a telnet session I get:
cisco-ap#sh ip inter brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
BVI1 10.0.83.99 YES DHCP up up
Dot11Radio0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Dot11Radio1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
where if I run the same command on the console I get:
yourname#show ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
BRI0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
BRI0:1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
BRI0:2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

For a starter - as I consider my self - this is highly confusing. Anyway although it turned out to be a wild goose chase I still appreciate the help I received.
