The following options are available for the Access Point:
Other Considerations
Enterasys Networks recommends that you test the coverage area before you permanently
install the Access Point. The coverage area is where wireless clients can be physically
located and still connect to the AP. Coverage area is determined by a number of factors,
including the speed of the RoamAbout PC Card, physical obstructions, and noise levels.
If possible, temporarily connect the AP and use the RoamAbout utilities described in the
RoamAbout 802.11 Wireless Networking Guide to determine the actual coverage area.
Using these tools can help you determine the best place to mount the Access Point.
If you are using an outdoor antenna with the AP, consider the following factors:
•
Type of antenna.
•
Outdoor antenna installation.
•
Grounding system. The AP and the outdoor antenna must use the same grounding
system. Refer to the RoamAbout Outdoor Antenna Site Preparation and Installation
Guide for Regulatory information, FCC requirements, and detailed procedures to
install outdoor antennas.
