Table 1. Installation Work flow
Steps	Action	Purpose
1	Verify the box contents.	Confirm that your AP and accessories arrived complete and undamaged.
2	Install the access point based on your needs. You can do any of the following: Attach the AP to a standard ceiling rail. Attach the AP to a wall with AH-ACC-BKT-AX-WL. Attach the AP to a Silhouette ceiling. Attach the AP to an Interlude ceiling. Attach the AP to a junction Box. Attach the AP to a beam.	Install the AP on a ceiling or wall, and connect the network cable. If you use Power over Ethernet, then the AP powers up. The AP begins a discovery process to determine its own IP address and the IP address of the controller. When the discovery process is successful, the AP registers with the controller.
3	(Optional) Connect to a power supply.	Connect to an external 12-volt DC power supply if you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
4	(Optional) Lock the access point.	Secure the AP and prevent someone from removing it.
5	Complete the post-installation tasks and confirm registration.	Confirm that the AP registers with the controller, configure the AP for your network, and assign it to one or more Virtual Network Services (VNS).
