Installing Your Xirrus Wireless LAN Array

This section provides instructions for installing your Xirrus Wireless LAN Array.

Choosing a Location

Based on coverage, capacity and deployment examples discussed earlier in this
chapter, choose a location for the Array that will provide the best results for your
needs. The Xirrus Array was designed to be mounted on a ceiling where the unit
is unobtrusive and wireless transmissions can travel unimpeded throughout open
plan areas. Choose a location that is central to your users (see the following
diagram for correct placement.
