3.2 Physical device preparation
Complete the following preparation for Access Points and Bridges:
• Attach the device antennas making sure to use self-amalgamating tape or similar removable
sealant. All sealed connections must be reversible.
• If mounting to a threaded rod, ensure a hole of the correct size is drilled to the device bracket if
one doesn’t already exist. Remove the bracket from the device before drilling new holes in the
bracket.
• If using a threaded rod, attach the bracket using lock nuts to prevent accidental rotation of the
device.
• If using a mesh mount (Figure 2 on page 10
), attach the device and bracket to any required
additional mount, making sure all bolts are secure.
• Irrespective of the mounting technique used, maintain the vertical orientation of antennas,
pointing downwards.
• Label all ports appropriately. Refer to the Best Practice note below.
• Rollup the excess cable and cable tie together ready for installation.
Determine a site-wide standard for cabling all Access Points, ie all devices use the same
ports for power and/or Ethernet connectors.
Label all ports appropriately with upstream (away from power booster) and
downstream (closer to power booster).
