Table 4: AP300 Installation Tools

Additional Equipment

A power source is provided with the AP300. If you want to use a PoE, you need to provide one

of the following:

z 802.3af compliant PoE device (for 2x2 mode)

z 802.3at compliant PoE device (needed for 3x3 mode)

Install the Access Points

Select a Location

The AP300 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 inter-

connected equipment's associated LAN connection. In addition, the AP300 should be mounted

in a location that meets the following conditions:

z Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal

physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles,

mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum testing is not complete at this time) or

the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. For an

external power supply connection, ensure the power source is near to where the AP300 will

be mounted.
