Installation guide

Installing the Access Points

z Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or

electric service panels.

z Relative to the ground, orient the antenna up or down, not sideways.

The AP150 is only intended for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE

802.3af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building,

including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection.

Attaching the AP150 Antennas

The AP150 is provided with external antenna ports. Make sure that all external

antennas and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. The external

antennas are not suitable for outside use.

If the AP150 does not have external antennas, attach the antennas to the connectors

on the AP150 (see Figure 29). Rotate the knurled ring at the base of the antenna

clockwise to attach the antenna. The ring should be finger-tight.

Mounting the Access Point

You can mount an AP150 in the following ways:

z Horizontally, as described in the “Horizontal Mounting” section.

z Vertically, as described in the “Vertical Mounting with the Mounting Bracket”

section.

z Below a hanging ceiling, as described in the “Mounting Below a Suspended

Ceiling” section.

Horizontal Mounting

To horizontally mount an AP150:

1. Place the AP150 flat on the horizontal surface.

2. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see

Figure 29), point the antenna straight up, then retighten the ring.

Note:

The previous guidelines are general guidelines. Each site has its own unique

environment. Place access points accordingly.

Caution!

When changing the orientation of the antennas, be sure to slightly loosen the

knurled ring before moving the antenna. Retighten the ring afterward. Otherwise, you

might damage the internal cabling in the AP.
