Installing the access device

Install the access device as directed in the MSM317 Installation Guide provided with the unit and
available online. The Installation Guide describes how to physically install a factory-default access
device in an electrical outlet box and make basic connections. For most installations, installing a
factory-default access device is sufficient, as the access device will automatically discover and
connect with a controller after it is powered on. For routed network topologies however, provisioning
of the access device may be required before installation to ensure that the discovery process is
successful. See
CAUTION:
inactive. However, if the cable is active, you must leave it connected once plugged in so that the
access device can discover its controller. Wait at least 5 minutes before disconnecting a live Uplink
cable from the access device after first connecting it.
NOTE: The access device operates in controlled mode (autonomous mode is not supported). This
means it must establish a network connection with a controller before it can become fully operational.
For more information, see Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration
Guide.

Checking status after installation

During installation, the Uplink port must be connected to a network with a PoE power source and
a controller. Once the network, PoE source, and controller are all active, the status LEDs can be
observed to verify that the access device is operating correctly.
