Preparing the AP for Installation

Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use

the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.

You should have the following information about your wireless network available:

• Access point locations.

• Access point mounting options: vertically oriented, on a wall or a desk.

• Powered by 802.3af or 802.3at, through PoE from a network device or a PoE power injector or

hub (usually located in a wiring closet).

Access points mounted in a building's environmental airspace must be powered using PoE

Note

to comply with safety regulations.

Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the

device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing

your wireless network.

During installation, gently adjust the module and radio unit such that the internal connectors are

aligned and centered. Now, gently snap them into place.
