Step 1
Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser
interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.
interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.
a.
Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller Management and
AP-Manager Interface.
AP-Manager Interface.
b.
Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the Cisco Unified Wireless Network WLAN Controller
Guide: Cisco 440x Series WLAN Controllers for additional information.
Guide: Cisco 440x Series WLAN Controllers for additional information.
c.
Set the Cisco wireless LAN controller as the master so that new access points always join with it.
d.
Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP.
e.
CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network.
f.
The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or
IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods,
refer to the product documentation. See also the

Step 2
Apply power to the access point:
a.
The access point is 802.3af (15.4 W) compliant and can be powered by any of the following 802.3af compliant devices:
–
WS-C3550, WS-C3560, and WS-C3750 switches
–
C1880 switch
–
2600, 2610, 2611, 2621, 2650, and 2651 multiservice platforms
–
2610XM, 2611XM, 2621XM, 2650XM, 2651XM, and 2691 multiservice platforms
–
2811, 2821, and 2851 integrated services routers
–
3620, 3631-telco, 3640, and 3660 multiservice platforms
–
3725 and 3745 multiservice access routers
–
3825 and 3845 integrated services routers
The recommended external power supply for the access point is the Cisco AIR-PWR-B power supply. The access
point can also be powered by the following optional external power sources:
point can also be powered by the following optional external power sources:
–
1250 series access point power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4)
–
Any 802.3af compliant power injector
Note
The 2600 series access point requires a Gigibit Ethernet link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a
bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port.

b.
As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green, red, and amber sequence, which
can take up to 5 minutes.

Note
If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find the Master

c.
If the access point shuts down, check the power source.
d.
After the access point finds the Cisco wireless LAN controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code
if the access point code version differs from the Cisco wireless LAN controller code version. While this is happening, the
Status LED blinks dark blue.

Status LED blinks dark blue.
e.
If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots.
Step 3
Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS to customize the
access-point-specific 802.11n network settings.
access-point-specific 802.11n network settings.
Step 4
If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation. Disconnect the
access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network.

Step 5
If your access point does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration.
