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.	Connect antennas	Connect the 2 RPSMA dual banded 2.4/5 GHz antennas which are shipped with the AP.
4.	(Optional) Connect to a power supply.	Connect to an external 12-volt DC power supply if you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
5.	(Optional) Lock the access point.	Secure the AP and prevent someone from removing it.
6.	Complete the post-installation tasks and confirm registration.	Confirm that the AP registered with the controller, configure the AP for your network, and assign it to one or more Virtual Network Services (VNS).
