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: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desktop.
Note
You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting
hardware: See
“Mounting the Access Point” section on page 13
for additional information.
Access point power options: PoE+ or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5= or AIR-PWRINJ6=.
Note
If AIR-PWRINJ5= is used, the AP will work with reduced features.
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.
