General Installation Guidelines
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
Caution: The planning and installation of the AP requires professional personnel
that are trained in the installation of radio transmitting equipment. The user is
responsible for compliance with local regulations concerning items such as
antenna power, use of lightning arrestors, grounding, and radio mast or tower
construction. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional contractor
knowledgeable in local radio regulations prior to equipment installation.
Antenna Position
When planning a location for the AP, consider these guidelines:
◆
When installing for an access point service, be sure to place the AP and external
antennas in a location that can cover the intended service area.
◆
Try and mount the AP as high as possible above any obstructions in the
coverage area. This is particularly important for point-to-point links.
◆
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the AP.
◆
Place the AP away from power and telephone lines.
