Preparing the Access Point
Before you mount and deploy your access point, perform a site survey to determine the best location to install your
access point. For more information about site surveys, see Site Survey Guidelines for WLAN Deployment at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/116057-site-survey-guidelin
es-wlan-00.html
Obtain this information about your wireless network:
• Access point locations
• Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desktop
• Access point AC adapter power over Ethernet (PoE) options:
– Recommended external power supply (Cisco AIR-PWR-B)
– PoE capable switch, such as the Stratix 8000, 5700, 5400, or 5410
– Recommended external PoE power injector (Cisco AIR-PWR-INJ4)
Access points that are mounted in an environmental air-space must be powered by using PoE to comply with safety
regulations. Make a site map that shows the access point locations so that you can record the device MAC IDs from
each location. Provide this information to the manager of your wireless network.
Help Prevent Damage to the Access Point
To help prevent damage to your WAP, follow these guidelines when you connect devices to the access point.
ATTENTION: Turn off the power to the devices and to the wireless access point until all connections
are completed. Do not turn on the devices until after you have completed all connections to the access
point.
You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling, but you must purchase additional mounting hardware. See
Stratix 5100 Wireless Access Point/Workgroup Bridge User Manual, publication 1783-UM006. Install the Stratix WAP
above the ceiling tiles only when mounting below the ceiling is not an option.
Grounding the Access Point
Grounding is not always required for indoor installations because the access point is classified as a low-voltage device
and does not contain an internal power supply. However, check your local and National Electrical Codes to see if
grounding is a requirement.

IMPORTANT
Make sure to ground the mounting plate before you attach the WAP to a flat surface.
If grounding is required in your area or you decide to ground your access point, follow these steps.
1. Find a suitable building grounding point as close to the access point as possible.
2. Connect a user-supplied ground wire to the building grounding point.
The wire should be a minimum of 2.5 mm
electrical codes for additional information.
3. Route the ground wire to the access point.
4. Insert the grounding post screw into the O-ring lug and install it on the mounting bracket as shown this figure.

5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the ground screw.
