Note: Both 802.11a and 802.11b radios are turned off on your Nortel
Networks Wireless LAN Access Point 2220/2221. You must configure
your Access Point 2220/2221 for your country before turning on the
802.11a and 802.11b radios.
For information on country-specific configuration, refer to
Country-specific Configuration for the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN
Access Point 2220/2221 (part number 215293-B). Go to
http://support.nortelnetworks.com/, select "Wireless LAN" and then
"WLAN Access Point 2220" or "WLAN Access Point 2221".
Placement of the Access Point 2220/2221 – Choose a proper place for your
Access Point 2220/2221. In general, the best location is at the center of your
wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to
place the access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service Set
(BSS). Normally, the higher you place the access point, the better the
performance. For proper ventilation, allow at least 1 inch (2.54 centimeters)
clearance around the ventilation holes on your Access Point 2220/2221.
(Refer to Appendix B, "Template for placing the Access Point
for information on mounting the Access Point 2220/2221.)
Note: Position the antennas on the Access Point 2220/2221 at right
angles to one another (not as shown in
Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Access Point 2220/2221
2220/2221,"
