How to install Cisco Aironet 3702I Wireless Access Point
- Plan your deployment by selecting a central ceiling location that provides optimal coverage for the intended area, taking into account ceiling height, furniture, and potential interference.
- Prepare the network by ensuring you have a PoE-enabled switch or injector capable of supplying the required power (802.3af/802.3at) to the 3702I connector and enough switch ports for your access points and nearby devices.
- Mount the access point to the ceiling using the provided bracket or mounting kit, routing the Ethernet cable securely through the ceiling or walls to minimize exposure and maintain a clean installation.
- Connect the device to the network by plugging the Ethernet cable into the PoE-enabled port and powering on. The device will boot and begin broadcasting its initial SSID, ready for configuration.
- Configure the access point through Cisco’s centralized management ecosystem. Add the 3702I to your Cisco Wireless Controller or Prime Infrastructure, assign it to the appropriate WLANs, apply security policies, and tailor performance settings to meet your organization’s requirements.
- Test connectivity and performance across representative client devices. Verify signal strength, roaming behavior, and throughput on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, making adjustments to placement or channel planning as needed.
- Document the deployment, including location, SSID names, security settings, and any guest network configurations, to simplify future maintenance and scalability efforts.
