Cisco Systems AIRCAP3602ITK9 User Manual

Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a 
desktop.

You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase 
additional mounting hardware: See 

 for 

additional information.

Access point power options: power supplied by the recommended external power supply (Cisco 
AIR-PWR-B), a DC power supply, PoE from a network device, or a PoE power injector/hub 
(usually located in a wiring closet).

Access points mounted in a building’s environmental airspace must be powered using PoE 
to comply with safety regulations.

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.

Installing the access point involves these operations:

Performing a pre-installation configuration (optional)

Mounting the access point

Grounding the access point

Deploying the access point on the wireless network

The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as 
expected. A pre-installation configuration is also known as priming the access point. This procedure 
is optional.

Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network 
controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and 
connect it to the network from there. See the 

 for details.
