5 Access Point Installation
5.1 Before You Start
This section lists the information you need on-hand before you can install a Base Station.
5.2 Information Required
Before you perform the installation, a site survey should have been performed by the service
provider. From this, you will need to know:
• Number of APs to install
• Where the outdoor transceivers will be mounted (antenna mast, pole or building)
• Heights at which the outdoor transceivers will be mounted.
• Transceiver directional information (azimuth and elevation).
You will probably be installing six APs on a mast or pole, giving 360 degree coverage in 60
degree sectors, as shown in Figure 5-1.

IMPORTANT – Be sure to record for future reference the MAC address
found on the AP unit BEFORE you install it.
