Planning the 7782 Access Point Installation

Positioning the GPS Antenna

The 7782 Omni, 7782-S 120-Degree Sector, and 7782-N 30-Degree Narrow Sector APs all

include an internal GPS antenna, while the 7782-E External Antenna AP can be equipped

with a powered external GPS antenna.

In all cases, if the AP is to be used with the optional GPS feature enabled, the GPS antenna

must be mounted outdoors and have as clear a view of the sky as possible (as close as

possible to 360 degrees, and with no obstructing trees or buildings). The GPS antenna

must not be installed where it can be covered with snow buildup to avoid attenuating the

GPS signal. These requirements must be met to ensure that the GPS module can obtain

lock and provide accurate GPS time and position. If the GPS antenna has less than a clear

360-degree view of the sky, then the GPS module may experience degraded performance.
