Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Installation Guidelines
• Do you have the proper permits, if required?
• Are you following the proper safety procedures and practices?
• Have you configured the access points before you go onsite? It is always easier to resolve
configurations or device problems first.
• Do you have the proper tools and equipment to complete your survey.
Before Beginning the Installation
Before you begin the installation process:
• Ensure that a site survey has been performed.
• Ensure that your network infrastructure devices are operational and properly configured.
• Ensure that your controllers are connected to switch trunk ports.
• Ensure that your switch is configured with untagged access ports for connecting your access points.
• Ensure that a DHCP server with Option 43 configured is reachable by your access points, or
manually configure the controller information in the access point (for additional information, refer
to the “Configuring DHCP Option 43” section on page F-1).
• Become familiar with the access point installation components (see the “Becoming Familiar with
Access Point Installation Components” section on page 2-12).
