installing any access points. A network plan and the AP work orders provide the following information about AP instal-
lation and configuration:
• Number of APs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area
• Detailed installation location for each AP
• Settings for all APs in the WLAN

WSS recommendation

Nortel recommends that you install and configure the WSS before installing an AP. If the switch is already installed and
configured for the access points, you can immediately verify the cable connection when you plug the cable into the
RJ-45 port on the AP.
Caution!
802.3af-compliant source, a Nortel WLAN—Security Switch (WSS), or a Nortel-approved
power injector. Connecting an AP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not
approved by Nortel can damage the equipment.
(For information about connecting an AP to a WSS port, see

Wall installation recommendations

If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the access point (the side with the
LEDs) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the access point but not
through the bottom (where the bracket is located).

AP Radio Safety Advisories

When you enable the AP radio(s) as part of WSS configuration, the radios are able to receive and transmit radio
frequency energy as soon as you connect the AP to the WSS, either directly or through the network.

Radio Frequency Exposure

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum Transmitters specifies a safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. Nortel Series 2332
access point products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991, if proper
installation procedures are followed. To ensure compliance with these exposure requirements, this device must be
installed in such a manner as to maintain a minimum of 20 cm separation distance between the radiating element(s) and
all persons.
