5.2 Placing the VAPs
It is preferable to place the VAPs on top of desks, cube walls, filing cabinets or higher on walls.
Note: Hiding a VAP under a desk or low down in a corner decreases the effective coverage of
the VAP and therefore requires a higher number of VAPs to cover a given area.
When placing the VAPs, take the following into consideration:
• Wherever possible, place the units in an open area.
• Availability of CAT-5/6 infrastructure - the VAPs are connected to the SPARE (not in use)
jacks).
• Aesthetics of the VAP location
• The VAPs plug into standard (RJ-45) Ethernet connection jacks.
5.2.1 Desktop mount
• Secure the Desk-mount adaptor to the Voasis™ Access Pod using the supplied screws.
• Connect the RJ-45 jumper cable (CAT-5/6) to the VAP.
• Place the VAP on a flat surface according to the planned location.
• Plug the other side of the cable into adjacent standard (RJ-45) Ethernet connection jack.
(the adaptor screws and cable are included in the VAP kit).
