8 Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration
For a Cisco Mobility Express deployment, see the Cisco Mobility Express User Guide at this URL:

The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as
expected. This procedure is optional.
Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network
controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and
connect it to the network from there. See the
“Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless
Network” section on page 23 for details.
The following Pre-Installation Configuration procedure given does not include configuring Link
Aggregation. For information on configuring Link Aggregation, see the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller Configuration Guide, Release 8.1, at this URL:

The pre-installation configuration setup is illustrated in Figure 5.
