Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration

The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as 
expected. This procedure is optional.

Note

Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network 
controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and 
connect it to the network from there. See the 

“Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless 

Network” section on page 18

 for details.

The pre-installation configuration setup is illustrated in
