2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP 6522M model Access Point, verify the following:
•
If a DC power supply is used, ensure it’s the approved power supply for the AP 6522M
(PWRS-14000-148R).
•
It is recommended you do not to install the AP 6522M in wet or dusty areas.
•
Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
2.3 Access Point Placement
For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights,
microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls
or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve
coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An
area lit sharply might
minimize coverage and create
dark areas.
Uniform antenna placement in an area
(like even
placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
•
Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•
Orient the Access Point for optimal performance.
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, it is recommended to conduct a site survey to define and
document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.
