Why isn't Cisco Aironet 1130G wireless access point configuring?

I have a Cisco Wireless access point (Cisco Aironet 1130G series) connected to a laptop via an Ethernet cord. In order to configure it, I need the IP address. The IP address was supposed to be picked up via the DHCP server, but that wasn't working so I used the advanced IP address scanner to find it using the corresponding Mac address. However, when I entered the IP address into the web browser, and nothing came up. I cleared the IP addresses prior to that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
