path should also have a Signal of 25% or better. Stated differently, there should be
at least 2 possible links that the MAP can use for uplink, and both should have a
Signal value of 25% or better. For a more conservative design, you may use 35% as
your Signal benchmark.
Mounting and Orientation of APs
ZoneFlex APs are very tolerant to a variety of mounting and orientation options due to
Ruckus Wireless' use of its unique BeamFlex technology, in which the RF signal is
dynamically concentrated and focused towards the other end of the RF link.
The bottom line regarding orientation and placement is that during the planning phase,
it is advisable to use the Signal Quality as your benchmark, as explained in
on page 356. Ensure that the Signal is better than 25% for trouble-free
operation.

Indoor APs - Typical Case: Horizontal Orientation
ZoneFlex indoor APs are typically oriented such that the top of the AP is pointing either
straight up or straight down.
Figure 265: ZoneFlex indoor AP horizontal orientation
Indoor APs - Vertical Orientation
A less typical vertical orientation may be used in certain cases where it is not possible
for mechanical or aesthetic reasons to use the typical horizontal orientation.
In such cases, indoor APs may also be wall mounted vertically.
