Cisco Systems OL-31386-01 specifications Mounting the Access Point

Step 5 If your access point does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration.

Note When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco wireless LAN controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Cisco wireless LAN controller. Also be sure that the route back to the Cisco wireless LAN controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary wireless LAN controller allows IP packet fragments. Finally, be sure that if address translation is used, that the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller have

astatic 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not supported.)

8Mounting the Access Point

Cisco Aironet 2702 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling. Click this URL to browse to complete access point mounting instructions:

9Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network

After you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:

Step 1 Connect and power up the access point.

Step 2 Observe the access point LED (for LED descriptions, see “Checking the Access Point LED” section on page 18).

a.When you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can verify by observing the access point LED. If the power-up sequence is successful, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the LED blinks sequentially green, red, and off. When the access point has joined a controller, the LED is green if no clients are associated or blue if one or more clients are associated.

b.If the LED is not on, the access point is most likely not receiving power.
