Installing the Access Points
Selecting a Location
The AP200 requires a location that meets the following:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves
Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the
controller.
APs can obtain their power from 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)-compat-
ible network switch or PoE power injector installed between the switch and the
AP200.
Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless
stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling or the
wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. For an
external power supply connection, ensure the power source is near to where the
AP200 will be mounted.
Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building.
