Installing the Access Points
Selecting a Location
When you plan the OAP180 physical configuration, include the elements shown in this
drawing:

Radio Position Planning
Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In addition,
local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If
your OAP180 link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional
contractor for advice. Once the required antenna height has been determined, other
factors affecting the precise position of the OAP180 must be considered.

Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the OAP180.

Place the OAP180 away from power and telephone lines.

Avoid placing the OAP180 too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces, such as
roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water
pipes.

OAP180 has two radios with one antenna per radio, so there is no diversity.
Radio Interference
Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference is
caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency.
You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if
there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a or 802.11bg channel frequencies.
Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal.
