Assemblies
You do not need to use the optional Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies
described in this section--you can tape or cable tie the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points to the
ceiling, or place them on tall cabinets or ladders. However, if you must move them from their original
positions, having them mounted on the tripod test assembly stands makes it easier to relocate them.
You only need AC extension cords if you have enough 110 VAC electrical outlets within easy reach of
