Placing Access Points
The final step is to determine the installation location of the access point. First, using the radius or Z
factor found in Step A, distribute the circles or squares evenly across the rectangles found in Step B.
Note that the large “X” in the middle of each coverage area indicates the approximate location of the
Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points. Also notice that the Z factor between the centers of each
Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point location is the same as the Cisco 1000 series lightweight
access point squares when the squares are directly adjacent to each other, as shown in this figure.

If the “
Building Type
” or RF characteristics assumptions are in doubt, complete this step to verify those
assumptions.
The minimal site survey consists of the following:
Collecting Tools and Materials
Selecting Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Locations
Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test Assemblies
Positioning a Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point at Each Planned Location
Verifying RF Coverage Using the Site Survey Tool
