Overview
This guide is designed to provide you with the information needed to mount Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Ports (2230/2231).
WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) are part of the innovative Nortel Networks 2200 Series, and require no manual configuration
after they are mounted.
This document assumes that a site survey has been performed as described in the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/
2231) Deployment Guide, that WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) locations and mounting options have been selected, and that you
have one Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231).
After the site survey is done, you should have a map indicating the following:
•
AP locations.
•
AP mounting options: in the middle of a ceiling/hallway, in the ceiling plenum, projecting away from the wall, or flat
against the wall.
•
AP power options: power supplied by the AC-to-DC power supply orderable from Nortel Networks, or Power over
Ethernet (PoE) from another network device, or a PoE injector/hub (usually located in a wiring closet).
If you do not have a map, make one so you can record the MAC addresses from each location and return them to the to the person
who is planning or managing this wireless network.
Refer to the following sections to install the WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231).
Note:
When mounting WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231), make sure to maintain a 20 cm (8 in.) separation between
the WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) and bystanders to comply with FCC RF exposure regulations. Refer to the
FCC
Statements for WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231)
section for more information.
For more details about Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) installations, refer to the
Planning Notes
section at the
end of this document.
