Installation of Indoor APs
You can directly place an indoor model (including the enhanced model) on a desk. The rubber feet on
the bottom of the AP help you to place it horizontally. Or you can fix it onto a wall by using the
wall-mounting bracket. The following introduces the wall-mounting procedure of the indoor models and
enhanced model in detail.

Figure 3-1 shows the installation flowchart of the indoor models and enhanced model.

Determining the Installation Position
Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:
z
Leave as few obstacles (such as wall and ceiling) as possible between the AP and stations.
z
Keep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave oven) that may generate RF
noise.
z
Install the AP in a place where it will not hinder people’s daily work and life.
z
Do not install the AP in a place where water seeping, water soaking, and condensing occur.
Prevent water or moisture from entering the AP.
Ensure the intensity and structure of the ceiling meet the requirements for ceiling mounting of the AP.
You are recommended to reinforce the ceiling using boards if it is not strong enough. A padlock is
required to prevent any falloff in case of shocks.
