All AP832e interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection, must be contained
within the same building. In addition, the AP832e location should meet the following conditions:
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 is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least
obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP832e horizontally so that you can read
the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO
performance.
Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing
the controller.
We recommend planning for about 256 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to
use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the
support site for more information.
AP832e is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind.
