AP Chassis
The AP includes its own bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 6 inch diameter
pole or part of a radio mast or tower structure.
Before continuing with AP installation, first review the general guidelines and
requirements in this chapter.
This chapter includes these sections:
◆
"General Installation Guidelines" on page 23
◆
"How to Mount the Unit" on page 25
◆
"How to Connect External Antennas" on page 27
◆
"How to Align Antennas" on page 28
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
Caution:
The planning and installation of the AP requires professional personnel
that are trained in the installation of radio transmitting equipment. The user is
responsible for compliance with local regulations concerning items such as
antenna power, use of lightning arrestors, grounding, and radio mast or tower
construction. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional contractor
knowledgeable in local radio regulations prior to equipment installation.
When planning a location for the AP, consider these guidelines:
◆
When installing for an access point service, be sure to place the unit and
external antennas in a location that can cover the intended service area.
◆
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the AP.
◆
Place the AP away from power and telephone lines.
◆
Avoid placing the AP too close to any metallic surfaces, such as roof-installed
air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes.
