Positioning the Access

will be connected to the LAN port on the rear panel.
■ allows easy viewing of the front panel LED indicator lights, and access to
the rear panel connectors, if necessary.
■ is centrally located to the wireless computers that will connect to the

furniture to optimize wireless connections to computers in both horizontal
and vertical directions, allowing wider coverage.
