3. Using hooks provided on bracket, position BSAP-1800. Notice the wall
mount grooves on the back of the BSAP-1800 (see Figure 18).
Connecting and Powering the BSAP
Follow these instructions to connect your BlueSecure BSAP to your Bluesocket
WLAN and then power it up:
1. Make a note of the 12-character MAC address and the serial number listed
on the bottom of the BSAP before mounting the BSAP to a wall or other
surface. You will need this information during configuration.
2. Position the BSAP-1800 for best radio performance.
The BSAP-1800 utilizes a 6-element MIMO antenna panel under the top
cover of the unit. This antenna panel is made up of a combination of
horizontally and vertically polarized antenna elements, which should give
excellent performance regardless of the orientation of the AP. The BSAP-1800
should, however, be place where it has the best unobstructed view of the
coverage area. If possible, mounting the BSAP-1800 on the ceiling will
provide the best performance in a typical office environment. An optional
ceiling tile mounting kit is available for the BSAP-1800, which provides for a
very esthetically pleasing and professional looking installation. For more
information, please refer to Bluesocket’s web site.
3. The BSAP derives its operating power directly from the RJ-45 connector when
connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
