How to install Cisco Catalyst C9115AXI

• Plan your placement: Select a central location that minimizes obstructions and interference, maximizing coverage for dense device populations. Consider ceiling mounts for broad coverage or wall mounts where ceiling access is limited.
• Prepare mounting and cabling: Use the included mounting hardware suitable for ceiling or wall installation. Run a clean PoE Ethernet connection from a PoE‑capable switch or injector to the AP’s Ethernet port.
• Install the device: Secure the access point to the chosen mounting surface, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and compliance with local guidelines. Verify physical stability and cable routing.
• Power and initial connectivity: Connect the AP to a PoE source and verify the power indicator to confirm startup. Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN/WAN switch port as required by your network design.
• Configure and secure: Use Cisco DNA Center or your preferred Cisco management platform to adopt the AP, configure SSIDs, security policies, VLANs, and guest access settings. Apply a robust security posture with updated firmware and policy controls.
• Optimize and monitor: Run a site survey or performance test to validate coverage and throughput. Fine‑tune channel plans, power levels, and QoS settings to support real‑time apps, video, and collaboration tools. Enable monitoring dashboards for ongoing visibility.
