• AP power options: 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3af (PoE), and 802.3bt

The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable
(not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one
meter in length.
Note
We recommend that you prepare a site map showing AP 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.
Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional)
Performing the following procedures ensures that the AP installation and the initial operation proceed as
expected. This procedure is optional.
If your controller is configured properly, you can install the AP in its final location and connect it to the
network from there. For additional information, see Deploying the Access Point in a Wireless Network, on
page 40.
