Identifying Specific Installation Locations

Use the AP placement map generated by Dell’s RF Plan software application to determine the proper installation 
location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area and should be 
free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will 
impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in the RF 
plan.

Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources

Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation 
phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed 
location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:

Cement and brick

Objects that contain water

Metal

Microwave ovens

Wireless phones and headsets
