Hardware connection
Connect your access point via the provided ethernet cable to a PoE LAN port on your switch or router. If you do not have a PoE switch or router, you must use a PoE injector to supply power to the device.
Setting up the network
Setting up a new network: Upon power-up, the device will begin its initial boot. The LED will cycle through patterns of green, red, and off. This process can take 6 minutes or longer. The device is ready for configuration only when the LED becomes solid green.
Adding to an existing CBW Wi-Fi 6 network: Allow the access point to boot up and automatically update its firmware and configuration to match the existing network. This may take 10 minutes or more. The LED will cycle through green, red, and off. Once the LED is solid green, the setup is complete. Once connected to the network, the LED will turn blue.
Configuration
Mobile App: Download the Cisco Business Mobile app by scanning the QR code provided in the manual or visiting cisco.com/go/cbapp. Follow the in-app installation instructions.
Web UI: If you prefer not to use the mobile app, you can use the Web UI for setup. Instructions for this method are available in the Web UI Setup Document, accessible via the support link.
Mounting
Cisco Business Wireless access points can be mounted on a suspended ceiling, a hard ceiling, a wall, or in the plenum air space above a suspended ceiling. Detailed mounting instructions are located in the Administration Guide.
