5 VAP Installation and Provisioning

This section provides a description of the VE Access Pods (VAPs) installation, verification, and

monitoring procedures.

5.1 VAP Installation

The VAPs installation procedure consists of connecting each VAP to the Ethernet jack in the

appropriate location to provide optimal coverage (See sections

3.4.

It is recommended to install the VAPs in places located high up so as to maximize the provided

coverage per VAP.

Note: Mounting a VAP beneath a desk or in another secluded location (e.g. office corner)

decreases the effective coverage of the VAP increasing the need for a higher number of VAPs to

cover the same area.

The VAP can be installed on any flat surface (e.g. wall, lowered ceiling) whereas the screws

must be appropriate for the type of surface.

VAP Installation Considerations

• Placing units in an open area.

• Availability of CAT-5e/6 infrastructure.

• The VAPs plug into standard (RJ-45) Ethernet connection jacks.

• If the jack being used is already connected to Ethernet switch. For more information see

3.4.2

and

4.3.

• Aesthetics of the VAP location.
