I am installing ap's around our bldg's. Is there a overlap setting on cisco
ap's? Needed to get more information...

If everyone is going to be on the same network, you could set the SSID
and encryption to be the same on each AP but give each AP its own
channel. If each AP is going to represent a separate network, give
each one its own SSID, encryption keys and channel. It might be a
good idea to enable MAC address filtering on each AP under these
conditions.

Do you have a particular Cisco product in mind? It would make finding
information easier. For starters, you can browse the below listed
link.
