Unpacking the Access Point

Step 3 Ensure that all items listed in the “Package Contents” section are included in the shipment. Check each
item for damage. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your authorized Cisco sales representative.

• Access point power pack
• Wall or ceiling mounting bracket
• Security hasp adapter
• Cubical partition mounting bracket assembly
• Horizontal surface mounting holster
• Mounting hardware kit
• Product registration card
Basic Installation Guidelines
Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can
reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
• Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and
filing cabinets do not block the radio signals to and from the access point.
• Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same
frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference.
