ATTENTION!
Special Considerations
While
Nortel WLAN — Access Port (223x)
have been engineered for easy installation, there are some guidelines that
are very important to the end users:
•
PLACE Nortel WLAN — Access Port (223x) NO MORE THAN 140 FEET APART FROM EACH OTHER.
Placing WLAN — Access Ports (223x) further apart almost always results in poor coverage.
•
ENSURE THAT THE Nortel WLAN — Access Port (223x) ARE
INSTALLED VERTICALLY. Nortel Networks WLAN Access Port
2230/2231 and Nortel Networks WLAN — Access Ports (2232) ARE
DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED VERTICALLY, either standing up
in a plenum or hanging from a ceiling, to create the largest coverage
area per WLAN — Access Port (223x). Hanging the WLAN —
Access Port (223x) from the ceiling provides the best RF coverage.
