Precautions

Before installing an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point, verify the following:
The intended deployment site is not a wet or dusty area.
●
The environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C.
●

Access Point Placement

For optimal performance, install the Altitude 4600 Series Access Point away from
transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and
other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as
needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to
be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark
areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb)
provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
●
Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
●
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, Extreme Networks
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before
installing an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point.

Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions

This mounting requires hanging the access point along its width or length using the
two slots on the bottom of the unit. An Altitude 4600 Series Access Point can be
mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided wall
anchors. The illustration in the following section shows a lengthwise mount.
