1 About this Guide This Guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 700 Series Access Point. The 700 Series Access Point is referred to as the 700 series or the access point in this document. 2 Introduction to the Access Point The 700 series supports high-performing two spatial stream rates over a deployable distance with high reliability when serving clients. The 700 series provides high reliability and overall wireless performance.
Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.
Unpacking To unpack the access point, follow these steps: Step 1 Unpack and remove the access point and the accessory kit from the shipping box. Step 2 Return any packing material to the shipping container and save it for future use. Step 3 Verify that you have received the items listed below. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for instructions.

Because the configuration process takes place on the controller, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for additional information. This guide is available on Cisco.com.
The Controller Discovery Process The access point uses standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other wireless access points on the network. CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol which enables an access controller to manage a collection of wireless termination points. The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points.
Preparing the Access Point 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.
Figure 3 Pre-Installation Configuration Setup Controller Layer 3 devices 272488 Cisco Aironet access points To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide. a.
e. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Step 3 Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure to customize the access-point-specific 802.11n network settings. Step 4 If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network.
10 Troubleshooting If you experience difficulty getting your access point installed and running, look for a solution to your problem in this guide or in additional access point documentation. These, and other documents, are available on Cisco.com.
