CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ACCESS POINT
FLAT SURFACE INSTALLATION
The access point can also be placed on a flat surface such as a table, desktop or
filing cabinet. Do not install the access point on any type of metal surface. If you
choose a flat surface mount, select a location that is clear of obstructions and
provides good reception.
Figure 6 Flat Surface Installation
SELECTING AND CONNECTING A DIFFERENT ANTENNA MODEL
The standard detachable antennas supplied with the Access Point are suitable for a
broad variety of environments. If you require a different type of antenna for the
Access Point, several options are available by model number from the 3Com Web site
(www.3Com.com).
For each of the antenna models, you will need an RSMA to SMA adapter cable
(model 3CRWE586), either a 6-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE580) or a
20-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE581) to provide the transition from the
RSMA connector on the access point to the N-type connector on the antenna.
NOTE: Regulatory restrictions dictate that when this device is operational, the
minimal body-to-antenna distance is 20 cm (8 inches).
