NOTE
You have installed the UNIVERGE WL AP. Repeat
UNIVERGE WL APs
for each UNIVERGE WL AP location, and then continue with
Step 5: Returning MAC
Step 5: Returning MAC Information
When you have completed the installations as outlined in
UNIVERGE WL
APs, return the MAC addresses and their locations on the maps or
floor plans to the network planner or manager. The UNIVERGE WL Control
System Software (WLCS Software) operators will use the MAC address and
location information to create maps for precise wireless UNIVERGE WL
Operating System management.
Also return any unused mounting kit hardware and external power supplies to
the network planner or manager for use in future deployments.
Please remind the Network Planner or Manager that now is a good time to
register the UNIVERGE WL APs.

You will run one CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the UNIVERGE WL AP to the
UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller, another network device, or a PoE
injector/hub.
When the UNIVERGE WL AP will be mounted below the ceiling using the
ceiling mount or wall mount brackets, you may have to drill a hole into
the ceiling plenum to run the CAT-5 cable to the wiring closet. When the
CAT-5 cable cannot be run through the ceiling plenum, find another path
to route the cable from the UNIVERGE WL AP to the wiring closet.
When the UNIVERGE WL AP will be mounted above the ceiling using the

closet through the ceiling plenum. When the CAT-5 cable cannot be run

the UNIVERGE WL AP to the wiring closet.
•
When you are powering the UNIVERGE WL AP from AC power, route the
power supply cable from the AC convenience outlet to the UNIVERGE WL
AP. Make sure you secure the AC power plug so it will be difficult for
people to pull on the power cord or unplug the power supply from the AC
power outlet.
•
When you are powering the UNIVERGE WL AP from a PoE source
(UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller, another network device, or a PoE
injector/hub), you do not need to route a separate power cable to the
UNIVERGE WL AP, because the UNIVERGE WL AP will receive its power
across the CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Return the power supply to the
wireless network planner/manager.
