Planning and Installing Wireless LANs
BreezeNET PRO.11 Series 5-13 User’s Guide
Microwave Ovens
For best performance, position the units clear of radiation sources that emit
in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, such as microwave ovens.
Antennas
Make sure the antennas are extended upward vertically in relation to the
floor. For models with external antennas, connect the external antennas and
RF cable.
Heat Sources
Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radiators, air-
conditioners, etc.
5.2.1.1 Site Selection for Access Points
When positioning Access Points, take into account the following additional
considerations.
Height
Install the Access Point at least 1.5m above the floor, clear of any high
office partitions or tall pieces of furniture in the coverage area. The Access
Point can be placed on a high shelf, or can be attached to the ceiling or a
wall using a mounting bracket.
Central Location
Install the Access Point in a central location in the intended coverage area.
Good positions are:
• In the center of a large room.
• In the center of a corridor.
• At the intersection of two corridors.
Many modern buildings have partitions constructed of metal or containing
metal components. We recommend that you install the Access Points on the
corridor ceilings. The radio waves propagated by the BreezeNET PRO.11
LAN are reflected along the metal partitions and enter the offices through
the doors or glass sections.
