Preparing Mounting Locations
On your map, you should have the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point locations,
mounting options, and power options.
Note BE SURE that plenum-mounted Cisco Aironet 1000 Series 802.11a/b/g lightweight access points use
only the metal Projection-Mount and Flush-Mount brackets (not the Ceiling-Mount Base or the
Hanging-Ceiling Clips) and are powered using PoE to comply with safety regulations. Also, external
antennas are NOT to be used when installing Cisco Aironet 1000 Series 802.11a/b/g lightweight access
points in a plenum.
