2.5.2 Access Point Locations
If you are installing the unit without the aid of a qualified installer, you need to determine the
general direction of any Access Points from your house or building. You may be able to ‘see’
several APs, depending on your coverage area.
Attention! The following method uses a compass to find the bearing of any APs from your
site. An alternative method is to use a protractor to measure the angle between North and a
line to the AP from your site. This tells you the compass bearing to use when aligning your
outdoor transceiver.
1. On your map, mark the location of your house or building
2. Mark the locations of any Access Points – these should have been supplied by your service
provider:

3. Place the compass on the map on or near the magnetic north indicator.
4. Turn the compass so that the magnetic north indicator needle aligns with the N or North
indicator on the compass body.
5. Rotate the map, keeping the compass stationary, so the map’s North Indicator aligns with the
North Indicator of the compass (see Figure 2-3).
6. Move the compass over your location on the map and read off the bearing to the AP.
