OverviewOverview
This guide is designed to provide you with the information needed to mount Nortel Networks WLAN -
Access Points (Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points). Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points are part
of the innovative Nortel Networks 2200 series (Nortel Networks 2200 series), and require no manual
configuration after they are mounted.
This document assumes that a site survey has been performed as described in the Nortel Networks
WLAN - Access Point Deployment Guide section in the Nortel Networks Product Documentation, that
Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point locations and mounting options have been selected, and that you
have one Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point per indicated location.
After the site survey is done, you should have a map indicating the following:
• AP locations.
• AP mounting options: in the middle of a ceiling/hallway, in the ceiling plenum, projecting away
from the wall, or flat against the wall.
• AP power options: power supplied by the AC-to-DC power supply orderable from the factory, or
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the (UNUSED PRODUCT), another network device, or a PoE
injector/hub (usually located in a wiring closet).
Note: Plenum-mounted Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points and Remote Edge Access Points
MUST BE powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) to comply with safety regulations.
If you do not have a map, make one so you can record the MAC addresses from each location and
return them to the to the person who is planning or managing this wireless network.
Refer to the following sections to install the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points.
Note: When mounting Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points, make sure to maintain a 20 cm
(8 in.) separation between the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points and bystanders to
comply with FCC RF exposure regulations. Refer to the FCC Statements for Nortel Networks
WLAN - Access Points section for more information.
For more details about Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point installations, refer to the Planning Notes
section at the end of this document.
