PRODUCT MANUAL
1. Welcome to Custom Integration Solutions™
Thank you for purchasing CIS devices. Our solutions make it easy for integrators to deploy networks in home and business set-
tings with minimal conguration. Our support team can provide assistance in setting up the equipment and answering your
questions.
3. Overview
The small but powerful CIS-WAP wireless access point is perfect for all your mobile devices.
• The CIS-WAP provides 2.4 GHz connectivity at speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s, and supports 802.11b/g/n.
• CIS Access points are weatherproof, and can be xed to any external wall or ceiling from the inside of the case. The
bottom door can also be secured with a special security screw, which can only be opened by integrators.
• The 360° coverage pattern makes the CIS-WAP ideal for business and residential applications.
• It is possible to run the ethernet cable through the back of the case to keep it hidden when mounting the access point.
