2 Planning the 7782 Access Point Installation
Before installing the 7782, it is helpful to verify the version and to plan the AP installation:
■ 7782 AP Versions
■ AP Connectors and LEDs
■ Performing a Site Survey
■ Planning the Physical Installation
■ Deciding How to Power the AP
7782 AP Versions

7782
The 7782 Omni (ordering part number 901-7782-xx01) is best deployed where internal-
antenna lateral beamforming can provide the greatest reach and throughput to a wide
coverage area, or provide the greatest distance between APs in a connecting device. See
Figure 2
for internal-antenna coverage patterns and see Figure 3 for a typical mesh
coverage pattern.
