5Mounting the Access Point

Cisco Aironet 3500, 1260, 1140, 1130, and 1040 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an elecrtical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

Note The integrated antenna design of the 1140 series access point is designed for horizontal surfaces, (table top and ceiling installations). When mounted to such surfaces, the integrated antennas produce the best antenna radiation pattern. For advanced features such as voice, location, and rogue access point detection, ceiling mounting is strongly recommended. However, for smaller areas such as conference rooms, kiosks, transportation, and hot-spot usage where the customer is concerned primarily with data coverage and not advanced features, you can mount the unit on a wall using wall anchors.

Caution Do not use plastic wall anchors or the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket for ceiling installations. When mounting the access point on a hard ceiling, use four fasteners capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 20 lbs (9 kg).

6Configuring Basic Settings

Before you can configure basic settings, the access point and your PC needs an IP address. See the “Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address” section on page 6.

Follow these steps to configure basic settings for the access point using the GUI Express Setup page.

Step 1 Open your browser, and enter the access point IP address in the address field. A username and password screen appears.
