Step 10
Ensure the antennas are connected to the access point before you apply power to the access point.
Step 11
Turn on the power to the outdoor light control fixture at the designated circuits.
Note
When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet network to the controller,
the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol to bind to another MAP with
the best path to a RAP connected to the wired network to a controller.
The access point sends a discovery request when powered up. If you have configured the access point in
the controller correctly, the controller sends back a discovery response to the access point. When that
happens, the access point sends out a join request to the controller and the controller responds with a
join confirmation response. Then, the access point establishes an LWAPP connection to the controller
and gets the shared secret configured on the controller under zero-touch configuration.
