Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Deploying the Access Points on the Wireless Network
Deploying the Access Points on the Wireless Network
Prior to beginning the actual access point deployment, perform these tasks:
• Ensure that a site survey has been preformed.
• Ensure that your network infrastructure devices are operational and properly configured.
• For lightweight access points, perform these tasks:
–
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.
To deploy your access points, follow these steps:
Step 1 Obtain the access point location map created during your building site survey.
Step 2 Review the access point locations and identify the specific mounting methods required for each access
point location.
Step 3 For each access point perform these steps:
a. For lightweight access points, record the access point MAC address on the access point location
map. When you have completed the access point deployment, return the access point MAC addresses
and the access point locations on the access point location maps or floor plans to your network
planner or manager. The network operators can use the MAC address and location information to
create maps for precise wireless system management.
b. Attach your access point to the mounting plate (see the “Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting
Plate” section on page 2-16).
c. Mount the access point at the indicated destination using the specified mounting method. For
specific mounting instructions, see these sections:
–
Horizontal surface, such as a ceiling (see the “Mounting the Access Point on a Horizontal
Surface” section on page 2-12).
–
Below a suspended ceiling (see the “Mounting the Access Point Below a Suspended Ceiling”
section on page 2-13).
–
Above a suspended ceiling (see the “Mounting the Access Point Above a Suspended Ceiling”
section on page 2-14).
–
On a desktop or shelf (see the “Mounting Access Point on a Desktop or Shelf” section on
page 2-16.
d. Optionally secure the access point using a padlock or security cable (see the “Securing the Access
Point” section on page 2-18).
e. Connect the access point cables (Ethernet, optional power, optional antennas). For instructions see
the
“Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables” section on page 2-21.
f. On power up, verify that the access point is associated to a controller and operating normally. For
additional information, refer to the
“Checking the Autonomous Access Point LEDs” section on
page 3-2 or the “Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs” section on page 4-2.
