Cisco Catalyst 9120AX Series Access Points
6 Preparing the AP for Installation
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.
Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting
hardware: See “Mounting the Access Point” section on page 12 for additional information.
Access point power options: PoE+ or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5= (802.3af) or AIR-PWRINJ6= (802.3at).
Note If AIR-PWRINJ5 is used, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be reduced to 2x2 and Ethernet is
downgraded to 1 GbE. The USB port will also be off.
Operating temperature: 32°—122°F (0°—50°C)
Note When installing the access point in an environment where the ambient temperature is in the range of
104
°—122°F (>40°—50°C), the access point must be configured to 2x2 on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
radios, 1GbE Ethernet. Also, there should be no load on the USB port.
Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC
addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network.
