Installation preparation checklist
Before you install an AP, verify the following items:
•
Connect the power cord and connect the AP to the network. Examine the LED status to make sure
the AP can operate correctly. For more information about AP LEDs, see "
Appendix B LEDs
."
•
Verify that cabling has been completed.
•
The device supports 802.3af-compliant PoE. To achieve the best performance, HP recommends that
you use a GE connection to the power device.
•
Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP (marked on the rear of the AP) for future use.
•
If part of the power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning protection (user supplied)
to connect the power cord of the AP to the power line.
