Altitude AP Installation Guide
Altitude AP Installation Guide
Unpacking and mounting the Altitude AP
NOTE
For Altitude
TM
350-2 Detachable Antenna, attach the antennae to the RP-SMA connectors in each
side of the Altitude AP before mounting on its bracket.
Connecting and powering the Altitude AP
WARNING
!
This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with outdoor wiring. Ensure that all cables are
run correctly to avoid strain. Replace the power supply adapter immediately, if it shows any signs of
damage.
NOTE
Powering up the Altitude AP initiates its automatic discovery and registration process with the Summit
WM Wireless Switch. The parameters for this process should be set in the user interface (AP
Registration) as explained in the User Guide.
4
Power up the Altitude AP in one of three ways:
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
If your network is already set up with PoE (802.3af compliant), attach the LAN ethernet
cable to the RJ45 ethernet connector in the top of the Altitude AP.
Power Over Ethernet: Adding PoE Injector
If your network is not set up with PoE, you can provide power to the ethernet cable with a
PoE injector. The PoE injector must be 802.3af compliant. The PoE injector is not provided
with the Altitude AP.
Power by AC Adaptor
An AC adaptor is not provided with the Altitude AP.
Specifications: Input: 120-240 VAC, Output Voltage DC +6V, max amps 1.50, max watts 10.
To use an adaptor, install the Altitude AP within six feet of a wall outlet, attach the
adaptor to the Altitude AP and then plug the adaptor into the wall outlet.
Use only a safety approved POE injector or a safety approved Limited Power Source (Class
2) AC adaptor.
NOTE
For installations that use Receive diversity (the default), the antennae should be pointed in the same
direction. For installations that do NOT use Receive diversity, or for those that split the 802.11a and
802.11b/g radio onto different physical ports, then the antennae can be pointed in whatever direction
is desired.
The Altitude AP has two models:
•
Altitude
TM
350-2 Integrated Antenna: internal dual
(multimode) diversity antennae
•
Altitude
TM
350-2 Detachable Antenna: dual external
antennae, RP-SMA connectors
Unpack the Altitude AP from its carton. Also in the carton
are:
•
one wall mounting bracket
•
3 screws and 3 wall plugs
•
one plastic rivet (to secure Altitude AP to bracket)
For Altitude
TM
350-2 Detachable Antenna, the dual external
antennae are also included.
1
Mount the Altitude AP wall bracket, using 3
screws. Mount it near the LAN ethernet cable
plug coming from the wall.
2
Press the back of the Altitude AP onto the
bracket, aligning it with the open notches in
the bracket. Then slide it down until the
security spring clip holds it in place.
Security Note #1:
To remove the Altitude AP,
release the spring clip by inserting an Allen key
(or other similar tool) into the small hole at the
bottom of the bracket. Then slide the case up
the bracket and lift off the Altitude AP.
3
Using a screwdriver, insert the plastic
rivet through the hole at the bottom of
the bracket and into the Altitude AP
case. This locks the case to the bracket.
Security Note #2:
To remove the Alti-
tude AP, use a screwdriver to take out
the rivet.
