Figure 8 Typical Floor Plan -- Open Auditorium with Cubicles Noting Deployment Constraints If the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points are to use existing wiring, note these locations on the map. If there are locations where Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points cannot be placed, note these locations on the map. Access Point Placement Guidelines • Position the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points above obstructions. • Position the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points vertically near the ceiling in the center of each coverage area, if possible. • Position Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points in locations where users are expected to be. For example, large rooms are typically a better location for Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points than a hallway.
