Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Preparation for Use
The 3e Technologies International's 3e-531AP Wireless Access Point
requires physical mounting and installation on the site, following a
prescribed placement design to ensure optimum operation and roaming.
The 531AP must be professionally installed by an installer certied by
the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers or
equivalent institution.
.
If the 3e-531AP's Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution is being activat-
ed, it will, in addition, require the installation of a separate PoE-capable
hub switch which “injects” DC current into the Cat5 cable. This injector
device should have been spec’ed and installed by a wireless LAN installa-
tion team.
To ensure that there is no possibility of danger from contact with the
injected current should anyone open the 3e-531AP enclosure, each 3e-
531AP device has been tted with a safety interlock that functions as an
internal circuit breaker to interrupt the ow of current when the device is
opened.

• The FIPS-compliant 3e-531AP
