There are four antennas deployed inside the access point with one deployed on each corner of the 2602I access point top housing. Each antenna covers both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands with a single feed line.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 7 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM 6 Access Point Ports and Connectors The 2602E model access point has external antenna connectors and the LED indictor on the top of the model, as shown in Figure 1. The 2602I model access point has integrated antennas and does not have external connectors on the top of the unit; however, it does have the LED indicator on top of the unit, as shown in Figure 2.

ap2600getstart.fm Page 10 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Note You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space. Note Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 11 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Preparing the Access Point 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.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 12 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected. A pre-installation configuration is also known as priming the access point. This procedure is optional. Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 13 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide. a. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller Management and AP-Manager Interface. b. Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 14 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Note The 2602 series access point requires a Gigibit Ethernet link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port. b. As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green, red, and amber sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 15 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM 8 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Aironet 2600 series access point can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

ap2600getstart.fm Page 19 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself. The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point.
ap2600getstart.fm Page 20 Wednesday, February 1, 2012 3:58 PM • The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point. • The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller.
