Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with
wireless clients. If the Access Point does not communicate with client devices,
check the following settings.
Wireless clients attempting to associate with the Access Point must use the same
SSID as the Access Point. The default SSID is tsunami.
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your
Access Point and any wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if
you set WEP Key 3 on your wireless LAN adapter to 0987654321 and select it as
the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the Access Point to exactly the
same value. The Access Point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key,
however.
Refer to the "Security" section in Chapter 3 of the Cisco Aironet Access Point
Software Configuration Guide for instructions on setting the Access Point's WEP
keys.
If you forget the password that allows you to configure the Access Point, or if you
need to make major changes to the configuration, you may need to completely
reset the configuration. Follow the steps below to delete the current configuration
and return all Access Point settings to the factory defaults.
