Deployment Optional Minimal Site Survey Collecting Tools and Materials Before you start a site survey, you must collect some items: • Maps or building plans of the areas to be covered, with a feet or meters scale included. • Duct Tape and Cable Ties. • T-10 Security Torx screwdriver. • A PC with a crossover CAT-5 or higher Ethernet cable capable of establishing a telnet session with each Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point. • A Site Survey Tool, consisting of a computer equipped with 802.11a and 802.11b/g transceivers and the signal strength monitoring and recording software. • Between one and five Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points with power supplies: - Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points. - Available Power Sources: - * Recommended factory-orderable 110 VAC-to-48 VDC power supplies. - * Optional Ethernet Power Injectors: Single RJ-45, 300 mA 48 VDC output, (MILAN Model MIL-L1611, or equivalent). Refer to "Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test Assemblies" for more information. - Recommended temporary stands, such as photographer's telescoping lighting stands, that can be raised to ceiling height. Refer to "Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test Assemblies" for more information. - Optionally, you can temporarily position the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points at or near ceiling height using ladders and/or tall bookcases, but they do not offer the portability of the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies. Selecting Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Locations Using the Cisco Radio density estimate from "Determining Deployment Requirements" and the guidelines for placing Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points described in "Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Placement Guidelines," determine the location for three to five Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points in a typical test coverage area. Preparing Optional Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Tripod Test Assemblies You do not need to use the optional Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point tripod test assemblies described in this section--you can tape or cable tie the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points to the ceiling, or place them on tall cabinets or ladders. However, if you must move them from their original positions, having them mounted on the tripod test assembly stands makes it easier to relocate them. Caution You only need AC extension cords if you have enough 110 VAC electrical outlets within easy reach of all potential Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point mounting locations. If you do use AC power cords, make sure you use duct tape to avoid creating trip hazards with the extension cords. 78-17279-01 Deployment Guide: Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points 15
