Installing The Baystack 660 Access Point - Nortel BayStack 660 Use Manual

Using the BayStack 660 Wireless LAN Access Point

Installing the BayStack 660 Access Point

Place the BayStack 660 Access Point in the center of the first BSA shown on the
floor plan in a location for permanent installation. Nortel Network recommends
positioning the access point in an elevated location to achieve better, line-of-site
radio coverage between the mobile unit and the access point. Place the access
point on top of a six foot ladder to approximate recommended wall or ceiling
mounting.
Note: You do not need to connect the access point to a wireless LAN to perform a
survey. However, to communicate between a mobile unit and an access point,
network drivers must be loaded. Both the PC card and the access point should be set
at the same SSID (default: SSID). Refer to Using the BayStack 650/660 Wireless
LAN PC Card for instructions on how to load your network driver.
To install your BayStack 660 Access Point, plug the power supply cord into the
access point and then into a wall outlet. (Go to
Point" for additional information). When power is applied, refer to
the LED activity. Go to
problems installing the access point.
