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.

a.Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller Management and 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.

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 “Using DHCP Option 43” section on page 16 for more information.

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:

1250 series access point power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4)

Any 802.3af compliant power injector
