Observe the following recommended guidelines to help ensure a successful network deployment:
•
Identify all pieces of the mounting bracket and mounting extension arm hardware and ancillary hardware
(see
AP 7161 Hardware on page 8
).
•
Mount the device with the black gore vent down.
•
Mounting height for network devices should not exceed 30 to 35 feet. Mounting height should vary to
accommodate the topography of the deployment area, foliage, and other obstructions.
•
Devices can be deployed using any of the recommended outdoor deployment procedures.
•
Line of Sight
(LoS) guidelines should be given special consideration when deploying devices.
1.10 AP 7161 Hardware Overview
AP 7161 models can be purchased in a two or three radio configuration (see
AP 7161 Hardware on page 8
). Each
model has two band unlocked radios that can operate across the 2.4GHz, 4.9GHz, and 5GHz bands, subject to
country regulatory approval and outdoor/band use.

the regulatory bodies of the country where the devices are being deployed. All common precautions for grounding
and
Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) protection should be observed during deployment and installation. AP 7161
Access Points must be installed such that no harmful interference results from device operation.
