9 7 Configuring the Access Point This section describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller . Because the configuration process takes plac e on the controller , see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for additional information.
10 Note CAPW A P support is provided in controller so ftware release 5.2 or later . However , your controller mu st be runn ing release 7.4.x. x or later to su pport 1600 series access points. Note Y ou cannot edit or query any ac cess poin t using the controller C LI if the name of the access point contains a space.
11 Preparing the Access Point Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning tool) to determine the be st location to install your access point. Y ou should have the follow ing information about y our wireless network available: • Access point locations.
12 Performing a Pre-Instal lation Configuration The following procedures ensure th at your access point installati on and initial op eration go as expected. A pre-installation configuration is also known as priming the access point . This procedure is optional.
13 Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.
14 Note If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find the Master Cisc o wireless LAN contro ller. Check the connection betwee n the access point and the Cisco wirele ss LAN controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet.
15 8 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Aironet 1600 series access points can be mo unted in severa l configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall , on an electrical or n etwork box, and above a su spended ceiling.

18 Troubleshooting the Ac cess Point Join Process Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a R ADIUS auth orization is pending; self-signed certificat es are not enabled on the cont roller; the access point’ s and controller’ s regulatory domains don’ t match, a nd so on.
19 Controller software enables you to configure the a cce ss points to send all CAPW AP-related errors to a syslog server . Y ou do not need to enable any de bug command s on the controller because all of the CAPW A P error messages ca n be viewed from the syslog server itself.
20 Y ou can configure the syslog server for access points and view th e access point join information only from the controller CLI. A detailed explanation of th e join process is on Cisco.com at the following URL: http://www.Cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09 186a00808f8599.
