Installing the Access Point
Step 3: Deploy the Access Point
Step 3: Deploy the Access Point
In this step, you will place the Access Point in a suitable location on the network and
connect it to a power source and to your network environment.
1. Choose a Location for the Access Point
You can install the Access Point on a flat surface (for example, on a desktop or tabletop)
or mount it on a wall or ceiling. When choosing a location for the Access Point, ensure
that the location:
■
Allows easy viewing of the LEDs and access to the connectors, if necessary.
■
Is centrally located to the wireless clients that will be connecting to the Access
Point. A suitable location might be on top of a cabinet or similar furniture to
optimize wireless connections to clients in both horizontal and vertical directions,
allowing wider coverage.
When positioning your Access Point, ensure that:
■
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
■
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of
electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
■
There are no thick walls or metal shielding between the Access Point and the
wireless stations.
■
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
■
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not
restricted.
Review the recommendations in “Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and
Orientation” on page 29 for help in choosing a suitable location for the Access Point.
2. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source and
the Network
Once you have placed the Access Point at its installation location, you are ready to
connect it to a power source and the network.
NOTE: If your ZoneFlex model supports PoE, you can also supply power to the AP
from a PoE switch or injector. For information on how to make the PoE connections,
refer to the documentation that was shipped with the PoE switch or injector.
CAUTION: If you will be using PoE, you must use a Cat-5e or better Ethernet cable
for the PoE connection.
1. Connect the power jack to the power connector on the rear panel of your ZoneFlex
Access Point.
