Accessing the Wireless Interface

You can access the Wireless feature of the Cisco CP Express by choosing the Wireless link.
The Cisco CP Express Admin View supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) encryption, which uses the ciphers aes-ccm tkip encryption mode.

Note The Wireless feature is displayed on the Cisco CP Express only if your router supports a WAP.

Based on the WAP settings, there may be variations in the way the Wireless feature functions. The variations may occur when:

1. Accessing the Wireless feature for the first time—When you click the Wireless link, it tries to automatically establish a connection to the wireless interface without prompting for a username and password, if one of these two options is true:

  • Your router is a factory fresh router.
  • Factory default username and password of the WAP have not been changed.
    The factory default username/password of your Wireless router is cisco/cisco.

2. Password of WAP has changed—You are prompted to specify the username and password of the WAP if the factory default username/password (cisco/cisco) have been changed.

3. Username and password of WAP have changed

  • If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, you are prompted to specify the username and password of the WAP.
  • If you are using the Google Chrome browser, you will encounter a “401 Unauthorized” error.
