Step 7 Attach the cables to the sides of the access point (the Ethernet cable, optional external antenna cable(s), optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver security cable).

Note Ensure that the cables are routed away from the access point integrated antennas.

Note When the access point is powered up and is associated with a controller (Power LED is green, Alarm LED is off, and the radio LEDs are blinking), the access point is broadcasting its beacon.

Step 8 Repeat Steps 1 to 7 for each flush-mount bracket location.

After mounting all your flush-mount access points, return to deploying the access points, "Step 3-c" on page 2-7.
