Introduction to Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point 1 1.1 Introduction to Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point Nokia A036 technical overview Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point serves as a wireless hub that coordinates and controls a wireless LAN. Portable devices equipped with IEEE802.11(b) compatible adapters can communicate with a wired LAN or with each other through the Nokia A036. A wireless LAN can be implemented as an extension to GSM, GPRS and UMTS networks or to an existing wired LAN.
Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point User Manual Antennas Nokia A036 is equipped with fully balanced and high quality internal antennas resulting in an optimal RF performance. The antennas have been designed to optimise coverage and reception propability when Nokia A036 is wall mounted. Nokia A036 also allows the installation of external antennas. External antennas may be needed if the access point needs to be hidden or, for example, an omnidirectional coverage is required.

Install 2 Install 2.1 Fixing the mounting clamp Nokia A036 is installed using a mounting clamp. You can either fix the clamp to the wall with screws or fasten it with tie wraps. See (3) in figure 1 for holes for tie wraps. To fix the mounting clamp to the wall with screws: Steps 1. Place the mounting clamp against the wall and mark fixing points See (1) and (2) in figure 1 for marking fixing points. It is recommended you use the horizontal holes (1) as they are stronger than the vertical holes (4).
