Powering the Access Point
Step 8 Use a Phillips screw driver, and loosen, but be careful not to remove the set-screw.
Step 9 Cut the cable stinger connector’s pin (see Figure 2-39) to 0.75 + 0.1 in. (1.91 + 0.25 cm).

Step 10 Insert the cable Stinger connector pin into the cable POC connector opening in the access point case.
Step 11 Screw the Stinger connector into the POC connector opening, and hand-tighten.
Step 12 Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the Stinger connector to6 to 7 ft lbs (8.1to 9.5 Nm).
Step 13 Use a Phillips screw driver to tighten the stinger set-screw on the RF splitter to 2.7 to 3.2 ft lbs
(3.66 to 4.34 Nm).
Step 14 Before connecting cable POC power to the access point, ensure that the antennas are attached to the
access point.
Step 15 Connect or attach the cable company’s POC cable to the Stinger connector according to their
specifications.
Step 16 Turn on cable POC power.
Step 17 Reinsert the RF splitter shunt.
Step 18 Check the cable modem’s Power and Cable LEDs and verify the cable modem receives power and
registers to the cable network. The Power LED (fifth LED from the hinge) is green to indicate power is
available.The Cable LED ( second LED from the hinge) should be blinking green to indicate scanning
the cable network and green to indicate registered on the cable network.
Step 19 Close the hinged cover (see the “Closing the Access Point Hinged Cover” section on page 2-39).
What to Do Next
When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable network to
the controller, the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol to bind to another MAP
with the best path to a RAP connected to the wired network to a controller. The access point sends a
discovery request when powered up. If you have configured the access point in the controller correctly,
the controller sends back a discovery response to the access point. When that happens, the access point
sends out a join request to the controller, and the controller responds with a join confirmation response.
Then the access point establishes an LWAPP connection to the controller and gets the shared secret
configured on the controller.
