Installation and Configuration This guide is designed to provide you with the information needed to install AP1010 Cisco Aironet 1000 Series 802.11a/b/g lightweight access points. These Access Points (AP) are part of the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution, and require no manual configuration after they are mounted. Overview This document assumes that a site survey has been performed as described in the Cisco 1000 Series IEEE 802.
Installation and Configuration Collecting Required Tools and Supplies Important Guidelines Even though APs have been engineered for easy installation, there are some very important guidelines to keep in mind: PLACE the AP NO MORE THAN 140 FEET APART. Placing them farther apart almost always results in poor coverage. • DO NOT MOUNT APs OUTDOORS. • DO NOT MOUNT the APs ON BUILDING PERIMETER WALLS UNLESS THE OPERATOR WANTS TO PROVIDE COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
Installation and Configuration Pre-Installation Configuration • Optional AC-to-DC external power supplies, factory-orderable. Note that this option requires the power cable to be run through the plenum in a metal conduit to meet safety requirements. • Map showing APs locations and mounting and power options. • Screwdrivers, drills, and ladder. • An assortment of sheet metal and drywall screws and toggle bolts. • CAT-5 (or higher) cables to connect the AP locations and other network devices.
Installation and Configuration Pre-Installation Configuration Configuration Steps for an AP prior to installation Step 1 Configure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller in LWAPP Layer 3 Mode and be sure its DS Port is connected to the network. Use CLI, Web User Interface or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Guide. a. Be sure AP ports are available through the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Management/AP-Manager Interface. b.
Installation and Configuration Preparing Mounting Locations Step 5 If everything works (the GREEN LED is on and the RED LED is off), disconnect the AP and take it to its final destination and install it as described later in this document. If your AP fails this visual test, refer to “Obtaining Technical Assistance” to return your AP.
Installation and Configuration Preparing Mounting Locations Factory-Supplied Mounting Options A. Ceiling-mount base 135663 Figure 2 B. Hanging-ceiling clips – Attach the hanging ceiling clips to the AP. Be sure you leave enough space around the AP to plug the CAT-5 cable, optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable into the sides of the AP.
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Mounting the Access Points Using the supplied or optional orderable AP mounting kits, mount each AP in its indicated location, oriented as shown on the map. Note that you can mount the AP in the ceiling plenum or below the ceiling, but that they perform best when mounted below the ceiling. Note that the AP supports Antenna Sectorization, which can be used to increase the number of clients and client throughput in a given air space.
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Note If the screws do not securely hold the ceiling-mount base, remove the AP and adjust the screws until they hold the ceiling-mount base securely. 4. Note Attach the cables to the sides of the AP. When the AP is powered up and is associated with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the AP is broadcasting its beacon signal(s).
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Clipping the AP and Ceiling-Mount Clips to a Hanging-Ceiling Rail 135662 Figure 6 4. Attach the cables to the sides of the AP. Note Be sure the cables are routed away from the AP antennas. Note When the AP is powered up and is associated with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the AP is broadcasting its beacon signal(s).
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Projection Wall Mount When you are mounting the AP out from a wall (flat sides along the wall or hallway), use an optional factory-orderable projection-mount L-bracket. 1. The AP threaded holes have precision-depth threads. Do not overtighten the screws, or the bracket will not fit under the screw heads. Figure 7 Attaching the Mounting Screws and Spring Washers to the AP A. Screws and spring washers Note B.
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Attaching the AP to the Projection-Mount Bracket 135668 Figure 8 5. Attach the cables to the sides of the AP. Note Be sure the cables are routed away from the AP antennas. Note When the AP is powered up and is associated with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the AP begins broadcasting its beacon signal(s).
Installation and Configuration Mounting the Access Points Attaching the Mounting Screws and Spring Washers to the AP A. Screws and spring washers B. Completed assembly 135667 Figure 9 2. Copy the MAC address(es) from the label(s) on the AP onto the corresponding location on the map. MAC addresses have the format 00xxxxxxxxxx. 3. You have already attached the flush-mount bracket to the wall in “Preparing Mounting Locations”. 4.
Installation and Configuration Returning MAC Information Note Be sure the cables are routed away from the AP antennas. Note When the AP is powered up and is associated with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the AP begins broadcasting its beacon signal(s). When this happens, complete the installation as quickly as possible to remove yourself from within 8 inches (20 cm) of the AP to comply with FCC RF radiation exposure guidelines.
