Installation Requirements
© 2007 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing the RS4000 11
The RS4000 obtains power from 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)-compat-
ible network switch or PoE power injector installed between the switch and the
RS4000. At least one PoE connection must be connected.
Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the RS4000 antenna
and the wireless stations. In many cases, mounting the RS4000 antenna on the wall
near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path.
Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
z Do not install the antenna 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 RS4000 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.
Note:
The previous guidelines are general guidelines. Each site has its own unique
environment. Place antenna accordingly.
