Preparing for installation
WARNING!
Install the AP under the guidance of technical engineers and read this chapter before installation.
Examining the installation site
The AP is used for outdoor installation. Before installation, examine the installation site to ensure that
the AP will work in a good environment.
Installation site selection
The installation site must be selected according to the network planning and technical requirements
of telecommunications equipment, with factors such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake,
electric power, and transportation taken into consideration.
The location for installing the AP must meet the following requirements:
•
Not exposed to high temperature, dust, harmful gases, electromagnetic interference sources
(high power radars, radio stations, or electrical substations), unstable voltage, heavy vibration,
and loud noise.
•
Dry, without any leakage, dripping, or dew.
•
Away from inflammable and explosive substances.
•
More than 5 m (16.40 ft) away from 3G and 4G base stations and antennas.
•
The AP uses built-in directional antennas. For the optimal coverage, make sure the installation
height does not exceed 5 m (16.40 ft) and no obstacles exist in front of the AP.
