6 Preparing the AP for Installation
Before you mount 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: vertical wall-mounting only.
Access point power options. See the “Powering the Access Point” section on page 28
Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the
device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing
your wireless network.
