+Note: 
+Each group will be provided two Access points.
+Each group is allocated 4 ports(given in the table) on a PoE switch which you need to plug your access points.
+Don't plug both access points at once. First plug one and configure it until done. When you add the second AP it should automatically get the configurations from the previous AP.
