Current Startup Configuration File
Right click on this link to save the config.txt file to your local hard disk. You can then edit the file and configure the access point as you wish. Use the Load New Startup Configuration File feature to upload the new file to any access point you want configured the same.
Load New Startup Configuration File
Browse to the location where you stored the config.txt file you saved using the Current Startup Configuration File feature. Click Load to upload the new file to any access point you want configured the same. The access point reboots when the new configuration is loaded.
Technical Support Information
Right click on this link to save the tech-support information to your local hard disk. You can then email this information to your technical support staff to assist them in configuring your access point.
Reset to Factory Defaults
Returns all access point settings to their factory defaults. The IP address is set to DHCP. Clicking Reset to Defaults causes the access point to restart. The default password for the access point is Cisco.
Reset to Factory Defaults (Except IP Address)
Returns all access point settings to their defaults, except for a fixed IP address that remains the same if it is configured. Clicking Reset to Defaults (Except IP) causes the access point to restart. The default password for the access point is Cisco.
Restart Now
Click Restart to reboot the system without having to find the access point and unplug it. A restart cold boot should be needed only after recovering from network problems caused by power outages or lightning storms.
This section is available on those access points that support Cisco Intelligent Power Management. Some access points support a Low Power Mode that prevents an overload condition on older Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
Identify your power source and switch condition and then make sure that your devices are configured as indicated in the table.

1. Please check the release notes for your power sourcing equipment to determine which Cisco IOS version supports Cisco Intelligent Power Management. For some PSEs, support for Cisco Intelligent Power Management may not be available yet.
2. MAC address is the 12-character hexadecimal address of the switch port to which the access point is attached. The MAC address format is HHHH.HHHH.HHHH. |
Power State
Displays the power mode of the access point. A Warning condition indicates that the PSE is unable to provide sufficient power, or that the power injector has not been configured properly. See System Power Settings for instructions on how to correct this.
Displays the power source as detected by the access point. If you use the AC power adapter to provide power to the 1130AG or 1240AG access point, you do not need to adjust the access point configuration.
Select either Power Negotiation or Pre-standard Compatibility. Use the power negotiation setting to allow a device to negotiate inline power with a PSE that supports Cisco Intelligent Power Management or when using a Cisco Aironet Power Injector. If you use a switch to provide power over Ethernet (PoE) to the 1130AG or 1240AG access point and the switch supports the IEEE 802.3af power negotiation standard, select Power Negotiation.
Use the pre-standard compatibility setting if the access point is powered from a 15W PSE that does not support this feature. If you use a switch to provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the 1130AG access point and the switch does not support the IEEE 802.3af power negotiation standard, select Pre-Standard Compatibility. It is recommended that the PSE software be upgraded to a version that support Cisco Intelligent Power Management.
If you are using a non-Cisco switch, changes to the power settings are not required.
When a power injector is connected in front of a Cisco PSE that does not support Cisco Intelligent Power Management, the Installed on Port with MAC Address check box must be chosen. Ensure the MAC address for your switch port is displayed in the MAC address field. If your Cisco switch supports Intelligent Power Management negotiations, uncheck Installed on Port with MAC Address.
Blink the Access Point LEDs
Clicking Enable causes the LEDs on the access point to blink so that you can locate a specific device.
