Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Unpacking the Access Point Unpacking the Access Point Follow these steps to unpack the access point: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents. Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it. Ensure that all items listed in the "Package Contents" section are included in the shipment. Check each item for damage. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your authorized Cisco sales representative. Package Contents Each access point package contains the following items: • Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point • Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Power Module (Universal power supply) • Quick Start Guide: Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points • Cisco product registration and Cisco documentation feedback cards Basic Installation Guidelines Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: • Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets do not block the radio signals to and from the access point. • Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference. Installation Above Suspended Ceilings The access point uses a metal enclosure having adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space (such as above suspended ceilings) in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC. For mounting instructions, refer to the Chapter 6, "Mounting Instructions." Caution Cisco Aironet power injectors are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings. Note If you plan to mount the access point in environmental air space and will upgrade to a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so will result in the access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space after the 5-GHz radio is installed.

Basic Installation Guidelines
Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can
reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
•
Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and
filing cabinets do not block the radio signals to and from the access point.
•
Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same
frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference.
Installation Above Suspended Ceilings
The access point uses a metal enclosure having adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in a building
’
s environmental air space (such as above suspended
ceilings) in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC. For mounting instructions, refer to the
Chapter 6,
“
Mounting Instructions.
”
Caution
Cisco Aironet power injectors are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building
’
s
environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Note
If you plan to mount the access point in environmental air space and will upgrade to a 5-GHz radio, Cisco
recommends that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so will
result in the access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space after the
5-GHz radio is installed.
