Installing the Access Points
Selecting a Location
The AP150 requires a location that meets the following:
z Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves
z Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the
controller.
APs can obtain their power from 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)-compat-
ible network switch or PoE power injector installed between the switch and the
AP150.
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 or the
wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path.
