Collecting Tools and Materials
Before you start a site survey, you must collect some items:
• Maps or building plans of the areas to be covered, with a feet or meters scale included.
• Duct Tape and Cable Ties.
• T-10 Security Torx screwdriver.
• A PC with a crossover CAT-5 or higher Ethernet cable capable of establishing a telnet session with
each Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point.
• A Site Survey Tool, consisting of a computer equipped with 802.11a and 802.11b/g transceivers and
the signal strength monitoring and recording software.
• Between one and five Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points with power supplies:
– Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points.
– Available Power Sources:
– * Recommended factory-orderable 110 VAC-to-48 VDC power supplies.
– * Optional Ethernet Power Injectors: Single RJ-45, 300 mA 48 VDC output, (MILAN Model
MIL-L1611, or equivalent). Refer to “Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight
Access Point Tripod Test Assemblies” for more information.
– Recommended temporary stands, such as photographer’s telescoping lighting stands, that can
be raised to ceiling height. Refer to “Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access
Point Tripod Test Assemblies” for more information.
– Optionally, you can temporarily position the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points at or
near ceiling height using ladders and/or tall bookcases, but they do not offer the portability of
the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies.
Selecting Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Locations
Using the Cisco Radio density estimate from “Determining Deployment Requirements” and the
guidelines for placing Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points described in “Cisco 1000 Series
Lightweight Access Point Placement Guidelines,” determine the location for three to five Cisco 1000
series lightweight access points in a typical test coverage area.
Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test
Assemblies
You do not need to use the optional Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies
described in this section--you can tape or cable tie the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points to the
ceiling, or place them on tall cabinets or ladders. However, if you must move them from their original
positions, having them mounted on the tripod test assembly stands makes it easier to relocate them.
Caution You only need AC extension cords if you have enough 110 VAC electrical outlets within easy reach of
all potential Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point mounting locations. If you do use AC power
cords, make sure you use duct tape to avoid creating trip hazards with the extension cords.
