Installation Guidelines
The following is a list of installation guidelines pertaining to Cisco USB BLE Beacon:
• It is compatible with AP 1830/1850/2800/3800 USB port.
• It can be plugged into an AP's USB port without removing the AP from the ceiling.
• It does not restrict access to the mGig and other available ports on the AP 3800 when mounted.
• It generates omni-directional antenna pattern or coverage when plugged into an AP.
Installing the Cisco USB BLE Beacon
Step 1 Power off the corresponding AP and disable the Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Step 2 Plug the Cisco USB BLE Beacon into the USB port of the AP.
Step 3 Power on the AP and enable the PoE. Note that you must wait until the AP has re-established the connection with the
controller until you proceed to next step.
Step 4 Log in to the controller GUI.
Step 5 Choose Wireless > Access Points > All APs.
Step 6 Select the AP with the Cisco USB BLE Beacon installed.
Step 7 Click the Inventory tab.
Step 8 In the USB Module Inventory area, verify the USB module details. (We recommend that you perform the USB module
verification for all the APs with Cisco USB BLE Beacons.)
Importing Maps from Cisco Prime Infrastructure
Cisco CMX relies on maps from Cisco Prime Infrastructure for AP information. Cisco Prime Infrastructure
3.6 is required for supporting Cisco USB BLE Beacon configuration.
