required; if you install the AP on top of or under eave of a building, no digging tool is

2.3 Examining the Installation Site
Before installation, you should examine the installation site to keep the AP under a
good operational environment. You can examine the installation site from the following
two aspects:
2.3.1 Installation Site Selection
Keep the AP away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust,
inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar, radio station,
and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. The installation site
should be dry, without any leakage, dripping, or dew .The AP should be at least 500 m
(0.31 mi) away from the seaside and should not face the direction of sea wind.
In engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning
and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and
transportation.
