Collecting Tools and Materials

Before you start a site survey, you must collect some items:

Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test

Assemblies

You do not need to use the optional Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies

described in this section--you can tape or cable tie the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points to the

ceiling, or place them on tall cabinets or ladders. However, if you must move them from their original

positions, having them mounted on the tripod test assembly stands makes it easier to relocate them.

You only need AC extension cords if you have enough 110 VAC electrical outlets within easy reach of

Optionally, you can temporarily position the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points at or

–

near ceiling height using ladders and/or tall bookcases, but they do not offer the portability of

the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies.
