We have the 702's deployed in all of our dorms in every other room and
used the existing network locations. One down side of this heavy of a
deployment is licenses on controllers plus smartnet cost. You need to
weigh out if the additional license count out weighs the cost to install
additional cable with a 3x02i.
In our case the adding licenses and being able to install wireless in 23
dorms over summer break was a good deal!!!!

Thanks for the heads up about the classic template. Converged templates are harder to
hunt down for me at this time. We have been able to get the AP ports into different vlans
via Prime. We had to turn off the "switchport voice vlan" line on the switch
config in order to get the voice vlan to work on the AP. This building is all concrete
block so we went with one per room. As we do others that aren't block we will look at
spreading them out some.
Thanks to all for the feedback in general. It has been helpful.

We installed some of these back in December. Here are a few of the issues we
had.
1. Power requirements are too high because of the POE port LAN4. There is no
way to configure the POE off if you are on 7.6.x.x. Found that if you limit the
uplink port to 15.4 watts, the AP will be fully functional, but the POE in LAN4
will be turned off. We can get a lot more APs per POE switch.
2. The ethernet ports are default off. cli method of enabling them is time
consuming because you can only do one port at a time. Found that in PI 2.2
(using classic theme) you can configure a Lightweight AP Configuration Template
to enable them in mass.
3. The ethernet ports are in the same vlan as the AP. This should be resolved
in some 8.x release (we're still on 7.6).
We've found that one AP covers two dorm rooms very well (fire rated
sheetrock).
We haven't had any damage with them mounted low, however in new buildings they
will be mounted higher.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 702W APs
We are about to embark on covering a Res Hall with 99% 702W APs. Are there any
lessons learned from others out there? If our pilot works well we intend on
this being the cookie cutter as we move forward.
