# Access points

This article explains the steps required to collect occupancy data from wireless access points by configuring them in Locatee Admin.

> 📘 Have you enabled wireless data collection?
>
> Measuring access point information requires the configuration of Locatee-specific credentials on the network hardware.
>
> Consult the following articles for [Cisco](https://docs.locatee.ch/docs/cisco-snmp-configuration) or [Aruba](https://docs.locatee.ch/docs/aruba-snmp-configuration), or contact the Locatee Service Desk ([support@locatee.com](mailto:support@locatee.com)) for more information.

## Add a new access point

1. Go to **Admin → Buildings → Access Points**
2. Click **New Access Point** and fill in the fields:
   1. **Model**: Model of the device, e.g. *air-ap3802i-b-k9*
   2. **Address**: IP address
   3. **Name**
   4. **MAC Address**: Base Radio MAC address
   5. **Enabled**: Yes
3. If a floor plan is present, place the access point on the map.

4) Click **Create** to confirm.
5) Once all access points have been created and positioned, click the **Tessellate Floor** button to automatically configure the access point tessellation zones:

Correctly set access point tessellation zones
