Hello everyone,
I have an already working VLAN, which is currently accessible with another AP (another manufacturer altogether), which I want to replace with a Cisco Aironet 1852 Series AP. However I'm currently a bit stuck.
Since another person had already tried something on it, I started by doing a complete reset i.e. I pushed the mode button for more than 20 seconds, until the LED turned red. Then I booted up the AP and connected to the provided wireless connection, where I could successfully configure the Cisco Mobility Express. Afterwards, after some time elapsed, I could see and eventually connect to the SSID, which I created and currently the LED is solid green, but every now and then it turnes to blinking red for a couple of seconds. I had configured the management network's IP to be 10.10.1.10 during the Mobility Express configuration, but I couldn't find and therefore access the address, after I connected to the AP via wireless connection.
So I connected my laptop to the auxiliary port on the AP and I could access another management tool, which is the Teleworker (at least that's what it says in the top right corner). There is a configuration page there and I can find some information and change some settings, but I can't seem to find a setting, which allows me to configure a VLAN. I have 5 pages, which are Home, Configuration, Event Log, Network Diagnostics and Help respectively.
Basically my goal is to give the AP a static IP adress in order to be able to access the management screen after it's mounted and then I want to create a VLAN, which is supposed to allow devices to establish a wireless connection to a server via the AP and a switch, which is already configured. I think I succeed in setting a static IP, because in Teleworker the AP IP Address is shown as 10.10.1.11. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me where I can configure it.
P.S.: Some additional information: According to Teleworker the software version is 8.5.140.0. I found some downloadable software on the Cisco website for the Aironet 1850e Series, which has the version 8.10.121.0. Should I perform a software update and if so how?
P.S.2: I'm experiencing problems when trying to connect to the SSID. It takes quite a few tries until I'm able to connect. I read in some thread that this behaviour might be caused by insufficient power. I'm currently powering the AP via PoE. Might this really be the cause?
Regards,
Milen
