Installing AP200
57
Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or
electric service panels.
Relative to the ground, orient the antenna up or down, not sideways.
The AP200 is only intended for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE
802.3af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building,
including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection.
Attaching the AP200 Antennas
The AP200 is provided with external antenna ports. Make sure that all external
antennas and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. The external
antennas are not suitable for outside use.
If the AP200 does not have external antennas, attach the antennas to the connectors
on the AP200 (see
). Rotate the knurled ring at the base of the antenna
clockwise to attach the antenna. The ring should be finger-tight.
Mounting the Access Point
You can mount an AP200 in the following ways:
Horizontally, as described in the “Horizontal Mounting” section.
Vertically, as described in the “Vertical Mounting” section.
Below a hanging ceiling, as described in the “Mounting Below a Suspended
Ceiling” section.
Above a tiled hanging ceiling, as described in the “Mounting Above a Suspended
Ceiling” section.
Horizontal Mounting
To horizontally mount an AP200:
1.
Place the AP200 flat on the horizontal surface.
2.
For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see
), point the antenna straight up, then retighten the ring.
Note:
The previous guidelines are general guidelines. Each site has its own unique
environment. Place access points accordingly.
Caution!
When changing the orientation of the antennas, be sure to slightly loosen the
knurled ring before moving the antenna. Retighten the ring afterward. Otherwise, you
might damage the internal cabling in the AP.
