Appendix E Priming Access Points Prior to Deployment

Step 6 If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Normal operation is indicated when the Alarm LED is off, the Power LED is green, and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs are blinking to indicate radio activity.

Note If the Alarm LED remains red for more than a minute, remove power from the access point and contact Cisco Technical Support for assistance.

Step 7 Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS to configure the access point with primary, secondary, and tertiary controller names.

Step 8 If the access point is in a Controller Mobility Group, use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS to configure the Controller Mobility Group name.

Step 9 Use controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS to configure the access point-specific 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g network settings.

Step 10 If the configuration priming was successful, the Power LED is green, the Alarm LED is off, and the radio LEDs are blinking to indicate normal operation.

Step 11 Repeat Steps 4 to 9 for each access point.

When you successfully complete the configuration priming of all your access points, ensure the Master setting is disabled on your controller. You can begin deploying the access points to their final destinations (refer to the “Deploying the Access Points on the Wireless Network” section on page 2-7).
