Installation Overview
Installing an AP involves the following high-level tasks.
• Preparing the AP for Installation, on page 35
• Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional), on page 36
• Mounting the Access Point, on page 38
Preparing the AP for Installation
Before you mount and deploy the AP, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning
tool) to determine the best location to install your AP.
You should have the following information about your wireless network on hand:
• AP locations
• AP-mounting options: To a vertical or horizontal wall or pole
The AP can be mounted in various orientations. Depending on the orientation, you may have to purchase
additional mounting hardware. For more information, see Mounting the Access Point, on page 38 section.
Note
• AP power options: 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt, and Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE)
When you use 802.3af to power an AP, both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios are disabled, and the Ethernet
gets downgraded to 1–GbE speeds. The SFP port and PoE-OUT are also disabled.
