5 Ports and Connectors on the AP

The 1815m series access points have an LED indicator on the face of the unit, above the Cisco logo,

as shown in Figure 1. For information on the LED scheme, see the “Access Point Status LED” section

on page 18.

The ports and connections on the access point are shown in Figure 2.

6 Preparing the AP for Installation

Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use

the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.

You should have the following information about your wireless network available:

•Access point locations.

•Access point mounting options: on a wall or a ceiling only.

Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase

additional mounting hardware: See “Mounting the Access Point” section on page 14 for

additional information.

•Powered by 802.3af, through PoE from a network device or a PoE power injector or hub (usually

located in a wiring closet).

Note Access points mounted in a building’s environmental airspace must be powered using PoE

to comply with safety regulations.

Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point 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.
