Installation and Configuration
Mounting the Access Points
Using the supplied or optional orderable AP mounting kits, mount each AP in its indicated location,
oriented as shown on the map. Note that you can mount the AP in the ceiling plenum or below the ceiling,
but that they perform best when mounted below the ceiling.
Note that the AP supports Antenna Sectorization, which can be used to increase the number of clients
and client throughput in a given air space. Installers can mount two APs back-to-back and the Network
operator can disable the second antenna in both APs to create a 360-degree coverage area with two
sectors.
The APs can be mounted in any one of the following configurations:

Ceiling Mount Base
When you are mounting the AP in the middle of a ceiling (flat sides toward the room or hallway), use
the ceiling-mount base to mount the AP as shown in the following figure and as described below:
