kits, mount each Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point in its indicated location, oriented as shown on
the map. Note that you can mount the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points in the ceiling plenum or
below the ceiling, but the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points perform best when mounted below the
ceiling.

increase the number of clients and/or client throughput in a given air space. Installers can mount two
Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points back-to-back and the Nortel Networks 2200 series operator can
disable the second antenna in both Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points to create a 360-degree
coverage area with two sectors.
