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

Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting hardware: See “Mounting the Access Point” section on page 16 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).

Note 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.
