Cisco Cisco Aironet 3800i Access Point Guía De Instalación

Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use 
the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.

You should have the following information about your wireless network available:

Access point locations.

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-C), 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:
